Gerard,
I am having a similar issue logging in on 5.2.1-RC2, and it seems to
have happened around the time I added a user and some groups using the
KUser utility in KDE. 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,

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!
