I hate to even admit it, but there are still some places where my password is managed locally. (Ugh. Maybe I should have put a trigger warning on this post.) Anyway, this means that it's occasionally useful to know when I last changed my password and/or when I will need to do it again.
It turns out that chage, which I had thought was really only useful for root, provides a way for non-root users to check their own accounts.
