Error: this account is currently not available

You may see this error when starting the agent.

This article is for our v1 agent and will soon be deprecated.

/etc/init.d/sd-agent restart
This account is currently not available.
[ OK ]
This account is currently not available.
This account is currently not available.
[ OK ]

This seems to happen if a user doesn't have a valid shell. The agent runs as its own user - sd-agent - so if you have modified that user's shell you'll need to revert that. You can do this by checking the /etc/passwd file and ensuring the final field represents a valid shell e.g. /bin/bash
