Turning off inactive accounts on sourceware

Turning off inactive accounts on sourceware

[Christopher Faylor]

I've written a script which will "turn off" any account on sourceware
which hasn't been accessed via ssh within roughly the last year.  For
"normal", e.g., git access accounts, a message will be shown which will
tell people to send email here to be reactivated.  For people with
actual login accounts there will be no message.  They just won't be able
to login.

Please let overseers know if this is going to cause undue hardship to
anyone.

Thanks,
cgf

This sounds good, but even better if the script actively sends email to
the people to notify them that this has happened.
