I've attached a script we were using on our old operational openldap servers.  
I haven't updated it much since we started running fds,  but it should give

Basically,  we just run it from cron nightly and it will email each user whose 
password expiry is withing their shadowWarning threshold,  then email the 
admin all the users that are within their threshold.
