Dear usermod man page maintainers,
There is an error in the description of the option for:
-e, --expiredate EXPIRE_DATE
The man page states:
An empty EXPIRE_DATE argument will disable the expiration of the account.
This is incorrect. The EXPIRE_DATE argument CANNOT be empty or it will take
the LOGIN as the value for the EXPIRE_DATE.
Instead, the correct use is "-e -1" or "--expiredate -1" where "-1" (-one)
is provided as the EXPIRE_DATE value.
See, e.g.: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30769911/3422102
