+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ The <function>pam_acct_mgmt</function> function is used to determine
+ if the users account is valid. It checks for authentication token
+ and account expiration and verifies access restrictions. It is
+ typically called after the user has been authenticated.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The <emphasis>pamh</emphasis> argument is an authentication
+ handle obtained by a prior call to pam_start().
+ The flags argument is the binary or of zero or more of the
+ following values:

+ <term>PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The PAM module service should return PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The user account is valid but their authentication token

+ this return-value is to require that the user satisfies
+ the <function>pam_chauthtok()</function> function before
+ obtaining service. It may not be possible for some
+ applications to do this. In such cases, the user should be
+ denied access until such time as they can update their password.
