When I leave the seventh field (account expiration date) in /var/lib/extrausers/shadow empty, login fails. /var/log/auth.log says: >> Jul 8 17:53:58 <host> su[3625]: pam_unix(su:account): account <user> has expired (account expired) However, man (5) shadow says: >> An empty field means that the account will never expire. The (or a similar) problem has also been on Ubuntu, see [1] and [2]. Actually I'm using the libnss-extrausers package of Ubuntu instead of the Debian one. To me they seem to be identical, just with the difference of the patch in [3]. I am using Debian GNU/Linux 6.0, kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 and libc6 2.11.2-10.
