Steve, thanks for the clarification. So it seems rabbitmq and couchdb are cases of using "su". I'm a bit undecided whether "login" should really be the only service for pam-ck. It's the main use case for e. g. giving you access to your sound card if you login through a VT, but it's also nice to get that if you do su - otheruser. Ideally we'd only count this as an user session if this actually called the login shell, but that's outside of PAM.
So I think the best course of action is to fix CK to ignore system users and also fix the couchdb/rabbitmq init scripts to not use su. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395281 Title: pam_ck_connector.so is called for non-login sessions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
