So I should just ignore it then? It seems that this is fixed in gdm but not in lightdm

Possible options:
Ignore it.
Fix it locally:
chage -E -1 lightdm

I have reported it at the lightdm github, but no response yet.
https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/issues/90
The only way... is all the way!

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/comm … 062516f0a9 reverts the upstream change in systemd but that has not yet been picked up in the arch package.
The fix will only affect newly created systemd accounts. Already existing accounts will need manual intervention or a packaging fix in the .install file.
