hello all! I would like to ask about the debug logs of the pam_unix module. I'm currently getting
 
May 20 11:05:40 linux1 login(pam_unix)[7891]: check pass; user unknown
May 20 11:05:40 linux1 login(pam_unix)[7891]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=pts/3 ruser= rhost=10.1.3.148
May 20 11:05:42 linux1 login[7891]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM 10.1.3.148 FOR mango, Authentication failure
 
Could someone please explain this? I think the first line is about the user not being known but how come the last line says authentication failure instead of user unknown?
 
thanks a lot!
 
melissa
