It's OK - panic over! The account had expired without any warnings - I'd previously accepted default settings for things like user accounts and they only had a 60 day "lease".
Sorry for posting a tad prematurely.

pam_sm_acct_mgmt
PAM_SM_ACCT_MGMT(3) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_SM_ACCT_MGMT(3)
NAME
pam_sm_acct_mgmt - PAM service function for account management
SYNOPSIS
#define PAM_SM_ACCOUNT
#include <security/pam_modules.h>
PAM_EXTERN int pam_sm_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags, int argc, const char **argv);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_sm_acct_mgmt function is the service module's implementation of the pam_acct_mgmt(3) interface.
This function performs the task of establishing whether the user is permitted to gain access at this time. It should be understood that the
user has previously been validated by an authentication module. This function checks for other things. Such things might be: the time of
day or the date, the terminal line, remote hostname, etc. This function may also determine things like the expiration on passwords, and
respond that the user change it before continuing.
Valid flags, which may be logically OR'd with PAM_SILENT, are:
PAM_SILENT
Do not emit any messages.
PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
Return PAM_AUTH_ERR if the database of authentication tokens for this authentication mechanism has a NULL entry for the user.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED
User account has expired.
PAM_AUTH_ERR
Authentication failure.
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD
The user's authentication token has expired. Before calling this function again the application will arrange for a new one to be given.
This will likely result in a call to pam_sm_chauthtok().
PAM_PERM_DENIED
Permission denied.
PAM_SUCCESS
The authentication token was successfully updated.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User unknown to password service.
