How to enable cron for a locked account in Linux?

In my environment, there are times when locked application/databases accounts need to run some cron jobs. In linux, by default, a locked account can not run the cron job until a specific setting is disabled in /etc/pam.d/crond file. Here is the detail:

 # cat /etc/pam.d/crond 
#
# The PAM configuration file for the cron daemon
#
#
auth       sufficient pam_rootok.so
auth       required   pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth       required   pam_env.so
account    required   pam_stack.so service=system-auth
# account    required   pam_access.so
session    required   pam_limits.so
session    required   pam_loginuid.so

This example is good for at least Redhat Linux 4U7. In the /etc/pam.d/crond file, I had to disable "account required pam_access.so" line and boom! The cron started working for the locked account as well.
