Take 2: Testers for new ssh-*-config scripts wanted!

[Alan Dobkin]

I use Dave Roth's perl module for more complex user flag settings,
but the hands down easiest way to do this is with the NET command:

NET USER username /EXPIRES:NEVER

This command is built-in on all Windows NT/2K/XP systems.  For more
details see NET HELP USER.
