Further to my query re: failed attempt to change email address on existing account
Neo
Thanks for your reply to my original post, entitled "Problem changing the email address associated with my unix.com account".
I am unable to reply to you in that thread, as I am unable to log-on to unix.com!
From what you said about purging dormant accounts, it is likely that my account belongs in that category.
I will create a new account, as you have suggested.
If it is feasible, could I ask you to delete my exiting account, please?
My username is 'irb'.
Thank you.

DESCRIPTION

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
