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.
