Then, a bit later, I receive messages like the following: =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0008 !=3D 0000) =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0kernel: psmintr: discard a byte(1) =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0On a side note, the message really does display "ac= cound" instead of=20 "account"; it's not a typo of mine. =A0Searches on the following phrases=20 within the questions and newbies mailing lists produced no leads for me=20 to research: =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0'pam_acct_mgmt(): user accound has expired' =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0'pam_acct_mgmt():' =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0'psmintr' Regards, =2D-=20 Barry C. Hawkins All Things Computed site: www.allthingscomputed.com weblog: www.yepthatsme.com ********** Reply Separator ********** Sunday, March 07, 2004 1:44:11 PM That is exactly what I was doing when this problem occurred. I am going to the KDE site and report this problem. It might be a bug of some sort. You might want to do the same if you have not all ready. As a side bar, in the master.passwd file, near the top, is an entry that includes: "Charlie &". Is it possible, or should I say, advisable to change that entry manually or just leave it as is? Thanks! Gerard Seibert gerard-seibert@rcn.com =2D----------------------------- message separator =2D-------------------------------- I had a similar problem when I upgraded from FBSD 4.9/KDE 3.14 to 4-stabl= e/=20 KDE 3.2 ie: I could not su from a console window it would give me the account expired m= sg=20 and if tried to change consoles by <ctrl>,<alt>, <Fx> I could not log in as= =20 root I could login as root from kdm=20 I used Kuser and reset the passwords for root and my other 2 users and it=20 started working again, I can su and login to other consoles as expected dont know if this helps as I am a newbee and most of the stuff that people = are=20 asking about is either way over my head or the answer I know comes directly= =20 from the hand book.
