.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBpam_acct_mgmt()\fR function is called to determine if the current user's
account is valid.  It checks for password and account expiration, and verifies
access hour restrictions. This function is typically called after the user has
been authenticated with \fBpam_authenticate\fR(3PAM).
.sp
.LP
The \fIpamh\fR argument is an authentication handle obtained by a prior call to
\fBpam_start()\fR. The following flags may be set in the \fIflags\fR field:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBPAM_SILENT\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 29n
The account management service should not generate any messages.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBPAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 29n
The account management service should return \fBPAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD\fR if the
user has a null authentication token.
.RE
