xcoach LQ Newbie Registered: Dec 2003 Location: North Carolina Distribution: Redhat 7.3 and 9 Posts: 2 Rep:	Re-enable an expired account I installed RedHat 9 on a Dell PowerEdge server 2 months ago and created several accounts at that time. When trying to login using those accounts yesterday, I was unable to log in and got the following message: "Read from remote host www-math2: Connection reset by peer Connection to www-math2 closed." I checked the message log (/etc/log/messages) which gave the following: "Apr 16 08:26:55 www-math2 sshd(pam_unix)[3083]: account xxxxxxxx has expired (failed to change password)" I don't remember receiving any notification that the password was about to expire. How do I re-enable these accounts?
