Re: [pam_access.so] How to ignore account expiration error(s)

Hi Jon,

thanks for quickly reply. I tried your opinion but it does not provide my
target. root password is expired and root's cron jobs is not run


/var/log/cron-->

2011-12-28T15:28:01.848488+02:00 crond[11683]: User account has expired
2011-12-28T15:28:01.848714+02:00 crond[11683]: CRON (root) ERROR: failed to
open PAM security session: Success
2011-12-28T15:28:01.848745+02:00 crond[11683]: CRON (root) ERROR: cannot
set security context


I think system-auth does not allow it. How to ignore account expiration ?
