45 Regardless of the authentication type, the account is checked to ensure
46 that it is accessible. An account is not accessible if it is locked,
47 listed in DenyUsers or its group is listed in DenyGroups . The defini-
48 tion of a locked account is system dependant. Some platforms have their

52 cation for the account while allowing still public-key, then the passwd
