recently, my fedora core 2 system started rejecting ssh logins to my non-root account on that system. if, from a remote system, i ssh to root, no problem. if i ssh to my regular account, the connection is closed. checking /var/log/secure, i see Nov 25 06:50:49 localhost sshd[2628]: pam_succeed_if: requirement "uid < 100" not met by user "rpjday" Nov 25 06:50:49 localhost sshd[2628]: Accepted password for rpjday from ::ffff:10.1.1.155 port 33300 ssh2 Nov 25 06:50:49 localhost sshd[2632]: fatal: PAM session setup failed[6]: Permission denied i don't ever recall this being an issue before. is this new? (perhaps the result of a yum update?) i can see the culprit entry in the file /etc/pam.d/system-auth: account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 which clearly is what allows me to ssh in as root, but not as me. should i simply change that value? or is there a cleaner way to do this? thanks. rday _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
