I just did a check on old Unix flavors - NCR Unix and HP-UX. When I did a su from a non-root user to another user id whose password has expired, it won't let me login at all. It does not prompt me to change the password nor does it allow me to login with the old password. The only message I get is "incorrect password" and the only way to I am able to set a new password is by starting a new ssh session.
