Hi Jon,

thanks for quickly reply. I tried your opinion but it does not provide my target. root password is expired and root's cron jobs is not run


/var/log/cron-->

2011-12-28T15:28:01.848488+02:00 crond[11683]: User account has expired
2011-12-28T15:28:01.848714+02:00 crond[11683]: CRON (root) ERROR: failed to open PAM security session: Success
2011-12-28T15:28:01.848745+02:00 crond[11683]: CRON (root) ERROR: cannot set security context


I think system-auth does not allow it. How to ignore account expiration ?

Sorry but I do not have a direct answer to your question, however it
is my opinion that the use of pam_access doesn't make much sense for
/etc/pam.d/crond. Cronjobs are for users which already have access
whereas pam_access would be controlling who gained access in the first
place. My suggestion is to completely remove that line from crond.
