Public bug reported:

In the cronjob auth_handle_account_expiries, users that haven't logged
in since the config option defaultaccountinactiveexpire get deactivated.
This sets the active flag in the usr table.

One would think that being inactive would mean that the user could no
longer login, but they still can. Especially because the email sent out
before you become inactive is as follows:

"Dear Admin User (admin),

Your account on Mahara will become inactive within 7 days.

Once inactive, you will not be able to log in until an administrator re-
enables your account.

You can prevent your account from becoming inactive by logging in.

Regards, Mahara Site Administrator

Please do not reply to this message.
