pam_acct_mgmt(): user account has expired (was Re: LoginProblem)

[Remko Lodder]

Hi,

That could indeed be, since the fields  have a shell on the end , nothing
else. Perhaps try vipw and if it still is in that file as well, delete it,
and try logging in,

it really should not be there, afaik.

Cheers

I booted into single-user mode (I was amazed to find that
Ctrl-Alt-Delete shutdown the server from the login prompt.) and took a
look at /etc/master.passwd.  At the end of one user's entry for shell,
which was /bin/sh, there was "swd 91%" appended to the end.  I wonder
if something happened to the file and that's why I am seeing this
password expired issue?

Being schooled,
