With Solaris OS versions try man logins.
Lots of options here for what you need.

hokky,

Run 'man chage'. chage -l username might be what you're looking for.

How do I change the expiry date "dd/mm/yy" to never ?

Not sure which expiration (password or account) you are trying to set, but you would set it to the maximum number possible, 99999, using the '-M' or '-E' options of the chage command.

For example, to set 'username' password to never expire, you would use:

chage -M 99999 username

Does that help you?
