No; we can't afford to ignore the error. Depending upon what happens after this point, it might well be a security issue or cause dataloss depending upon what PAM has been configured to do, though this is probably unlikely. But it would certainly be against the spirit of the PAM API to ignore it. I think it's most likely that the PAM error is external to schroot; schroot just asks PAM to start, stop, authenticate etc. and does not really have any input into what it does. I would suspect this error is the fault of a single PAM module. If it would be possible to identify which is at fault, we can look into it in more detail. You could try commenting out the various lines of /etc/pam.d.schroot and also in the referenced generic files if they don't help. PAM might have some means of enabling debugging messages here, but I don't know for sure. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
