Hello,
I've been trying to get xlock to unlock when using nis on RHL 4.2 systems.
It does not seem to like it when the authentication is through an NIS
server, but will unlock when the user is listed properly in /etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow.
Apr 15 11:40:58 eupa PAM_pwdb[7377]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=1045) -> ted for
xlock service
Apr 15 11:42:56 eupa PAM_pwdb[7388]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=1045) -> ted for
xlock service
Apr 15 11:45:23 eupa PAM_pwdb[7398]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=1045)-> ted for
xlock service
I suspect it may have something to do with PAM. Where, /etc/pam.d/xlock
looks like:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
vs. /etc/pam.d/login which looks like:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok use_authtok
session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
I tried making /etc/pam.d/xlock look like the entries in login, but it
didn't work. So I put xlock back to its original state.
Does anyone have any ideas on this matter?
Thanks,
-ted
