I decided to run a manual check. That was nearly 48 hours ago and it's 
still running! I have a 3.0 GHz HT CPU and there are 46 lines in 
my /etc/shadow file.
Is this normal? If so, what the hell good is this program? I can't 
possibly have multi-day processes running on a weekly basis.
Can anybody tell me if this is to be expected? Is there a way to invoke 
it to make it run in a more reasonable amount of time?
