Cannot update password policy for user

I am trying to update the password policy for a user. It should be as follows:

• Must be changed every 30 days


• Once changed, cannot be changed for 3 days


• Must be disabled after 45 days of inactivity

I tried using the passwd command to set this up:

passwd -f -e -u -n 3 -x 30 -w 7 -i 45 theuser

After running this, I see the following error:

passwd: Only one of -l, -u, -d, -S may be specified.

Looking at this, I am only using one of those listed flags, -u. Why is passwd giving me this error?

I've been messing with the flags and cannot get this working. I also got the following error, but cannot remember what flag combo I used to get it though:

passwd: Cannot mix one of -l, -u, -d, -S and one of -i, -n, -w, -x.
