#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *

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 follow-
ing 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 authen-
tication token.
APPLICATION USAGE
Refer to pam(3) for information on thread-safety of PAM interfaces.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion,
PAM_SUCCESS 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 Access permission is denied.
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOKEN_REQD
New authentication token required. This is normally returned if the
machine security policies require that the password should be
changed because the password is NULL or it has aged.
