I am getting tripped up by this one. I age my users accounts out by chage -d0 <user>. I am hoping to age out the account and this should force the user to enter a new password when he tries to access the system via ssh on his next attempt. Instead what I am getting is a system disconnect after the user enters his original password. And my log is
PAM rejected by account configuration[12]: Authentication token is no longer valid; new one required.
Seems handling rejects was commented out, sposed to be in around 3.6. For the time being couldn't you just do with setting -m -M limits and showing a warning they gotta change it in say 1 day or risk losing their account?
