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

hi Jon,


I updated my crond file content according to your reply but result does not
change.

===========  /etc/pam.d/crond  ================
#
# The PAM configuration file for the cron daemon
#
#
auth       sufficient pam_env.so
auth       required   pam_rootok.so
auth       include    system-auth

account    sufficient pam_rootok.so
#account    required   pam_access.so
#account    include   system-auth
account    required   pam_unix.so
account    required   pam_tally.so

session    required   pam_loginuid.so
session    include    system-auth

===================================
