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'
