All accounts, including root, are "expired". My error message is: login: pam_acct_mgmt(): user accound has expired Login Incorrect. Then, a bit later, I receive messages like the following: kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0008 != 0000) kernel: psmintr: discard a byte(1) On a side note, the message really does display "accound" instead of "account"; it's not a typo of mine. Searches on the following phrases within the questions and newbies mailing lists produced no leads for me to research: 'pam_acct_mgmt(): user accound has expired' 'pam_acct_mgmt():' 'psmintr' Regards, -- 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 ------------------------------ message separator --------------------------------- I had a similar problem when I upgraded from FBSD 4.9/KDE 3.14 to 4-stable/ KDE 3.2 ie: I could not su from a console window it would give me the account expired msg and if tried to change consoles by <ctrl>,<alt>, <Fx> I could not log in as root I could login as root from kdm I used Kuser and reset the passwords for root and my other 2 users and it 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 asking about is either way over my head or the answer I know comes directly from the hand book.
