Hi, I have compiled and installed pam_chroot. My /etc/pam.d/sshd (SuSE) looks now like this: auth required pam_unix2.so # set_secrpc auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so account required pam_unix2.so account required pam_nologin.so password required pam_pwcheck.so password required pam_unix2.so use_first_pass use_authtok session required /lib/security/pam_chroot.so debug session required pam_unix2.so none # trace or debug session required pam_limits.so Additionally I have configured /etc/security/chroot.conf as follows and created a basic file system under /home/pmuster: pmuster /home/pmuster When I now try to login remotely as pmuster I get the following error messages in my /var/log/messages: Aug 14 16:09:23 susi pam_chroot[2721]: session: reading config file (/etc/security/chroot.conf) Aug 14 16:09:23 susi pam_chroot[2721]: session: found chroot_dir "/home/pmuster" for user "pmuster" Aug 14 16:09:23 susi pam_chroot[2721]: session: chroot(/home/pmuster): Operation not permitted Aug 14 16:09:23 susi pam_chroot[2721]: session: returning failure Aug 14 16:09:23 susi sshd[2721]: fatal: PAM session setup failed[14]: Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session Any ideas what might cause this? Actually I have created a basic file system for that user and a "su - pmuster" works fine (no chrooted environment then!). Any hints? Thank you very much. Bye, Werner. _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
