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 func‐
tion. The applications should not call this API directly.
The function, determines whether the current user's account and pass‐
word 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 various
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.
