Hi, I used apt yesterday to upgrade some packages including some libpam packages and now an incoming ppp connection fails with entries like this in the log:
Oct 1 21:17:08 elm PAM_unix[25488]: check pass; user unknown Oct 1 21:17:08 elm PAM_unix[25488]: authentication failure; LOGIN(uid=0) -> CONNECT 57600 for login service Oct 1 21:17:10 elm login[25488]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM FOR CONNECT 57600, Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info. Connections worked yesterday morning. I use mgetty with this line: /AutoPPP/ - au_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd debug My box is potato with some slink packages still installed. elm:# dpkg -l login libc6 libpam\* ppp\* ii login 19990827-4 System login tools ii libc6 2.1.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 0.69-7 Pluggable Authentication Modules for PAM ii libpam-runtime 0.69-7 Runtime support for the PAM library ii libpam0g 0.69-7 Pluggable Authentication Modules library ii ppp 2.3.9-1 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon. pn ppp-pam <none> (no description available) I have no idea at all what PAM_unix is or how to go about fixing this problem. I would just like to ppp working again which will buy me time to research all this properly. Any help would be most appreciated.
