Paul,
The /etc/default/passwd settings are only consulted when you change your
password. Setting the parameter in /etc/default/passwd does not
automatically configure password aging for users (until their next
password change).
Of course, you can force the addition of those settings for a particular
user by using the "-x" (max), "-n" (min) and "-w" (warn) options to the
passwd command.
