DESCRIPTION
The function
pam_acct_mgmt()
is called to determine if the current user's account is
valid. This includes checking for password expiration,
account expiration, account locks and access hour restrictions.
This function is typically called after the user has been authenticated
with
pam_authenticate().
See
pam_authenticate(3).
The
pamh
argument
is an authentication handle obtained by a prior call to
pam_start().
The following flags may be set in the
flags
field:
- PAM_SILENT
The account management service should not generate any messages
- PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
The account management service should return
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOKEN_REQD
if the user has a null authentication token.
APPLICATION USAGE

pam(3)
for information on thread-safety of PAM interfaces.

is returned.
In addition to the error return values described in
pam(3),
the following values may be returned:
- PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User not known to underlying account management module.
- PAM_PERM_DENIED

- PAM_NEW_AUTHTOKEN_REQD
