Error description
When a non-root user calls passwdexpired() with an LDAP user as the argument, the error code is 22 which is EINVAL. The correct error code is EACCES which is the error code returned when the argument is a local user.
Local fix
Problem summary
When a non-root user makes a call to passwdexpired() for an LDAP user, it will get an incorrect error return code of EINVAL, instead of the correct error code of EACCES, which is returned when the call is made for a local user.
Problem conclusion
Modify the LDAP load module to return EACCES for this type of error.
