-1 in the correct column should make the passwd "unexpirable" (if that
word exists :) You can set this directly in nss-mysql-root.conf and see
what happens (shadow.expire_column = -1;). If it still does not work, it
would mean that your system is configured to refuse passwords that
cannot expire. I've never seen that, I am not even sure it is possible.

Do you use "su user" or "su - user" ? If you use the former, it is
normal, if you use the latter, that is weird. Check your configuration,
check your auth log where nss-mysql logs every error.

HTH.
