Unfortunately that's not right.  I thought the same and used that
command line switch but it has another meaning.  There's a difference
between expiry of a password and expiry of an account.  /EXPIRES
means the latter while we need the former meaning.  There seem to
be no `net user' switch for password expiry.  Which in turn results
in the sshd_server password expiring after 42 days by default :-(
