Package: libpam-tacplus
Version: 1.3.6-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
installation of libpam-tacplus using aptitude on my virtual machine lead to
a system where I could not login anymore.
After installing the package, I was unable to log in:
a) at graphical login window
b) console login: login prompt simply reappears without login success
c) su on console (while still logged in): "Cannot make/remove an entry for the
specified session"
I easily reproduced the behaviour on a fresh wheezy install using
debian-7.1.0-i386-netinst.iso, minimum installation.
I was able to solve the problem:
Booted rescue system from debian CD image and edited /etc/pam.d/common-session.
Changed
"session requisite pam_deny.so"
to
"session requisite pam_permit.so"
To me this seems a critical problem which will easily leave the inexperienced
user with a inaccessible machine.
As I am not familiar with pam (yet), I am not sure which package should fix
this
(libpam-tacplus or libpam-runtime, which seems the originator of common-session.

Arno
