Description Bastien Nocera 2016-05-10 10:45:24 UTC 
From: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1314443
which explains how to reproduce

Similar to:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708846

Here, the two problems would be when/how to show the notification about the password expiry, and how to extract it from PAM to show it to the user.

It might be good for gdm to tell the session that information, once it's logged in. Ray, ideas?

probably accountsservice should read it from shadow and advertise it to the session
