In the verson of login.c which implements the password
aging there is a bug in the notification of a soon to
expire password or account.
The test for an account or password expiring in less than
two weeks is reversed, causing the reminder that the password
or account will expire in the future to always be given rather
than waiting until the expiration is within two weeks or less.
The test for the current time being greater than or
equal to the expiration time having already been done,
the order of subtraction should be reversed in the test
which follows.
