Hi folks, since two weeks I have a big problem with telnet authentication. If I try to login as a normal user via telnet, I get the mess login incorrect. But login as ftp is OK. So I changed the login config therwise that I set auth required pam_securetty.so #auth required /lib/security/pam_group.so #auth required /lib/security/pam_mail.so #account required /lib/security/pam_time.so account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow md5 nullok use_authtok session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so #session required /lib/security/pam_lastlog.so auth optional /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so nullok shadow auth optional /lib/security/pam_nologin.so So I can login with any all accounts with dummy-passwords and then change to root. but when I change to root then I neet the correct password. What I'm making wrong? Regards from Austria Roland Reichmann
