+Other implementations of the
+.Xr user 8
+utilities use the
+.Ar inactive-time
+parameter to refer to the maximum number of days allowed between logins (this
+us used to lock "stale" accounts that have not been used for a period of time).
+However, on
+.Ox
+systems this parameter refers instead to the password change time.
+This is due to differences in the
+.Xr passwd 5
+database compared to other operating systems.
