Q: Detect "user on grace logins" (ppolicy being used)?

Hi!

I have a question: When using ppolicy, is tthere a simple way for a user to detect that he/she is "on grace logins", i.e. the poassword has to be changed soon? We had a situation where some monitoring tools uses periodic logins to sume user account. When that user should have changed the password, the periodic logins consumed all the grace logins, and the user was effectively locked out. While there are many ways to resolve this, I wonder whether it would be rather easy to avoid any further login attempts when the user is expected to change the password.
