PASSWORD_MINDAYS and PASSWORD_MAXDAYS in trusted mode

I use PASSWORD_MAXDAYS and PASSWORD_MINDAYS to set the default maximum number of days that passwords are valid.
And the default minimum number of days before a password can be changed in untrusted mode .

In trusted mode I use u_minchg and u_exp in /tcb/files/auth/system/default to set the default minimum number of days before a password can be changed.
so,PASSWORD_MAXDAYS =u_exp, and PASSWORD_MINDAYS=u_minchg in different mode,is that right,what i said, can anyone tell me right or not , thanks
