The PAM error indicates the user password ( which is being referred as "token") should be changed because the password is either NULL or it has aged.

The error is given by remshd because it does use PAM authentication for the user who is trying to access this system for trying to run commands through remsh from remote system.

The error is defined in /usr/include/security/pam_appl.h

Refer man pages of pam(3),pam_acct_mgmt(3),pam_sm_acct_mgmt(3),pam_authenticate(3) which gives more details.

The underlaying PAM authentication modules could be NIS,LDAP. I assumed here normal PAM unix authentication.
