NAME

       pam_sm_acct_mgmt() - service provider implementation for pam_acct_mgmt

SYNOPSIS

       [flag]... file... [library]...

DESCRIPTION

       In response to a call to pam_acct_mgmt(3), the PAM framework calls from the modules listed in the pam.conf(4) file.  The account management
       provider supplies the back-end functionality for this interface function.  The applications should not call this API directly.

       The function, determines whether the current user's account and password are valid.  This includes checking for password and account  expi-
       ration,	valid  log-in  times,  etc.   The user in question is specified by a prior call to and is referenced by the authentication handle,
       pamh, which is passed as the first argument to The following flags may be set in the flags field:

       The account management service should not generate any messages.

       The account management service should return
	      if the user has a null authentication token.

       The argc argument represents the number of module options passed in from the configuration file pam.conf(4).   argv  specifies  the  module
       options, which are interpreted and processed by the account management service.	Please refer to the specific module man pages for the var-
       ious available options.	If an unknown option is passed to the module, an error should be logged through syslog(3C) and the option ignored.

       If an account management module determines that the user password has aged or expired, it should save this  information	as  state  in  the
       authentication handle, pamh, using uses this information to determine which passwords have expired.
