Hello all, I have a CentOS 4.2 server that gives me these error messages in my /var/log/secure file, I realise that these are SSH attacks, but where does the extra line "Could not get shadow information for NOUSER" come from? This doesn't make any sense. I have many servers running CentOS 4.2, but don't get this error message on any others. I hate junk in my logs. Is there any way to get rid of it? Invalid user guest from ::ffff:210.210.4.60 error: Could not get shadow information for NOUSER Failed password for invalid user guest from ::ffff:210.210.4.60 port 55073 ssh2 Cheers. -- Scott - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
