I just installed RH8.0 and have one problem with it, which is due to pam, I think. In a terminal window, I can not do a "login <myself>" or "login root". What's wrong? Here some information on what's happening and my current configuration: [dd001@wisconsin dd001]$ login dd001 Password: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info. -------------------------------------------------------------- [dd001@wisconsin dd001]$ login root Password: Login incorrect [dd001@wisconsin dd001]$ tail /var/log/messages [...] Dec 2 12:41:11 wisconsin PAM-securetty[2105]: Error opening /etc/securetty Dec 2 12:41:14 wisconsin login(pam_unix)[2105]: authentication failure; logname= uid=500 euid=500 tty=pts/1 ruser= rhost= user=root Dec 2 12:41:17 wisconsin login[2105]: FAILED LOGIN SESSION FROM (null) FOR root, Error in service module -------------------------------------------------------------- [dd001@wisconsin dd001]$ su Password: [root@wisconsin dd001]# login dd001 <the session gets closed without prompting for password> [root@wisconsin dd001]# tail /var/log/messages [...] Dec 2 12:44:06 wisconsin su(pam_unix)[2168]: session opened for user root by (uid=500) Dec 2 12:45:06 wisconsin login(pam_unix)[2198]: auth could not identify password for [dd001] Dec 2 12:45:06 wisconsin login[2198]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR dd001, Authentication failure Dec 2 12:45:06 wisconsin login(pam_unix)[2198]: auth could not identify password for [dd001] Dec 2 12:45:06 wisconsin login[2198]: FAILED LOGIN SESSION FROM (null) FOR dd001, Error in service module Dec 2 12:45:06 wisconsin su(pam_unix)[2168]: session closed for user root -------------------------------------------------------------- [dd001@wisconsin dd001]$ more /etc/pam.d/login #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so Thanks in advance for your help David Defoort david.defoort@wanadoo.fr _______________________________________________ Pam-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
