Re: pam list size limit?

Are you sure the issue is with pam_access? How many entries do you get when you run "getent group <grpname>" ?
Finally, what level SP are you at on your SLES10 machine? If you're not at SP2, you could try updating to that. I've found SP2 to have solved a lot of issues.

We have a site that uses pam to regulate user logins, and has a unix group in excess of 2500 user entries which is specified in the access.conf file.

 

They were running SLES9 (pam-0.77-221.4) and had no problems.  However, updating to SLES10 (pam-0.99.6.3-28.8), they are now having problems with the group list truncating at about 1100 user entries.

 

Was some default limit changed?  I checked the archives, but didn't see anything blatent announcing this.  I checked the ChangeLog in the source code and found an entry that is suspicious (2005-12-21  Tomas Mraz simplifying evaluate_ingroup), but again, nothing blatent.

 

What is the limit?  How can I change it (preferably without recompiling)?  Is this at all possible?

 

Thanks,

Wendy
