password aging and remote logons

I have been playing around with password aging and it seems to work fine
when I logon to the machine locally. However, when I try to logon via ssh it
just drops the connection after I'm asked for my username and password. Then
when I logon via ssh as root, and "su -" to the username I'm testing passwd
aging with, it works ok. I have tried this in Fedora Core 1 and Redhat 7.2,
8, & 9 and I have the same results w/each. Here is the test user's shadow
entry:

pepper:$1$YjRQIytb$LfLS/UCrG6F5shXHOWte/1:12427:0:1:0:100::

I see the above entry as:
Username:passwd:# of days since last passwd change:# of days before passwd
maybe changed:# of days after which passwd must be changed:# of days before
passwd is to expire that user is warned:# of days after passwd expires that
account is disabled:# of days since Jan 1, 1970 that account is disabled:a
reserved field.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is anyone else out there using passwd
aging? If so, are any of your users connecting via ssh or locally? 

I can post log info if needed. 

Thanks in advance!
