 +[05] WHEN AND HOW ARE ACCOUNTS EXPIRED?
 + 
 +     user (both prevalidated and validated) accounts are the only login
 +     accounts subject to automated purges.  These purges occur weekly and
 +     are based on your last UNIX login time if you are validated, or the
 +     number of days since your account was created if you are prevalidated.
  
 +     ARPA members are exempt from inactivity purges, though an ARPA member
 +     may lose their membership by violating the AUP.
 +
 +     Prevalidated accounts are automatically purged whether they are in
 +     use or not approximately 200 days of their creation.
 +
 +     Validated (user) accounts are purged typically after 3 months or 6
 +     months of inactivity.  It is variable because it is dependent upon
 +     system resource use.  Meaning, if we need more user ids or disk space,
 +     then inactive validated users will be purged.
 +
 +     Keep in mind that using SDF like its 'yahoo' or 'hotmail' doesn't 
 +     constitute as a UNIX login.  You will have to login to the shell 
 +     account regularly to avoid being flagged as an inactive account.
