Hi all i have been trying to set up some redhat boxes here to use either radius or tacacs for login. i used both redhat 7.1 and 7.3. for some reason, both behave the same: if the user exists in the password file, it's password is checked against the remote server, and the user is allowed in. this is regardless of the entry in the password file. if the user does not exist - it fails to log on. i have ran pam_tacplus.so with full debug, and saw that in either cases it does exactly the same, the module is called 3 times for auth, account and session, and each time it returns "OK", for both users. seems to me there is something i am missing. i also ran the getty through strace and tried login, in the case of the user that doesnt exist - the getty finished with a SIGSEGV :( here is my /etc/pam.d/login : #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_tacplus.so debug server=10.3.3.3 secret=pam encrypt first_hit auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_tacplus.so debug server=10.3.3.3 secret=pam encrypt service=login protocol=none account sufficient /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password sufficient /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session sufficient /lib/security/pam_tacplus.so debug server=10.3.3.3 secret=pam encrypt service=login protocol=none session sufficient /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so i also tried through sshd, which had the same results, here is /etc/pam.d/sshd : #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_tacplus.so debug server=10.3.3.3 secret=pam encrypt first_hit auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_tacplus.so debug server=10.3.3.3 secret=pam encrypt service=login protocol=none account sufficient /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password sufficient /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session sufficient /lib/security/pam_tacplus.so debug server=10.3.3.3 secret=pam encrypt service=login protocol=none session sufficient /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so what am i missing ? thanks for you help Hilik _______________________________________________ Pam-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
