Caveat: Broken pam

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Just as a warning, the pam package in rawhide is broken for SELinux;
non-root logins will fail under console login, gdm, or ssh when in
enforcing mode.  I think that this is due to a bug in pam_unix related
to execution of the chkpwd helper program.  In permissive mode, pam_unix
doesn't need to run the helper program, as it can directly read
/etc/shadow itself.  Fixed pam is available from Dan's site
ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/Fedora.
