Pam Module sending a cannot get password enry after certain period in /var/adm/message.
pam_login_limit(auth): Cannot get Password entry for user 'dbsnmp'
What is dbsnmp? Also if account is locked does pam module checks for this locked account at regular interval and keeps on posting messages?
Why am getting these messages?

Hello,
I'm now analysing the working of PAM.
PAM works with config-files, that you can find under the directory /etc/pam.d.
One of those config.-files is the file: login.conf.

NAME
pam_unix_account - PAM account management module for UNIX
SYNOPSIS
pam_unix_account.so.1
DESCRIPTION
pam_unix_account module implements pam_sm_acct_mgmt(), which provides functionality to the PAM account management stack. The module pro-
vides functions to validate that the user's account is not locked or expired and that the user's password does not need to be changed. The
module retrieves account information from the configured databases in nsswitch.conf(4).
The following options can be passed to the module:
debug syslog(3C) debugging information at the LOG_DEBUG level
nowarn Turn off warning messages
server_policy If the account authority for the user, as specified by PAM_USER, is a server, do not apply the Unix policy from the passwd
entry in the name service switch.
ERRORS
The following values are returned:
PAM_UNIX_ACCOUNT User account has expired
PAM_AUTHTOK_EXPIRED Password expired and no longer usable
PAM_BUF_ERR Memory buffer error
PAM_IGNORE Ignore module, not participating in result
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD Obtain new authentication token from the user
PAM_PERM_DENIED The account is locked or has been inactive for too long
PAM_SERVICE_ERR Error in underlying service module
PAM_SUCCESS The account is valid for use at this time
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN No account is present for the user
