Hi,
Just guessing, u may want to add "rootok" somewhere...
See /usr/share/doc/pam-0.75/txts/README.pam_rootok, and all text files in the txts dir.
i have very similar problems like the author of this thread;
pam_rootok will not at all do what i want
the problem is:
when the LDAP-server goes down no-one can login at the machine any more. this is fine for LDAP-users (users that only exist in ldap) but quite annoying for local users such as root.
i can do absolutely nothing with the machine as long as the LDAP-server is down (apart from plugging off the power, and reboot it into runlevel-1)
pam_rootok let's me bypass authentication when i am already root.
but how do i become root, when my secondary(!) authentication scheme is down ???
