Debian guest accounts are only allowed to access particular machines
but according to your account information in LDAP, you don't appear to
be allowed to access any Debian hosts. It looks like whoever did the
LDAP update forgot to add which machines you are allowed to access or
something. Please contact the person who requested you get a guest
account so they can follow up on the request ticket.

The problem here is that guest accounts need to be approved for each host, and the approval has an expiration (iirc it lasts 3 months by default).
Now, your account was created on 2011 if memory serves right, and it expired right after, and this year we just updated the attached got key while you became a DM.

So at this point you'd need to ask access to the single hosts you need; being a DM is just a trivial matter that doesn't need approval, afaik DSA just adds the bits, but will still expire at some point.

(One could argue for DMs they could drop these steps, but LDAP at this time doesn't properly know about DMs..)
