Bug#204711: libc6: PAM broken, login impossible, possibly NIS related
Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable I have a setup with NIS, and I have this in my nsswitch.conf: passwd: compat group: compat shadow: compat After upgrading from 2.3.1-17 to 2.3.2-2, loging in failed for all NIS users, whether on the host running the NIS server or not. I changed the nsswitch file to contain: passwd: db files nis group: db files shadow: db files nis This allowed local users to log in again. However, remote users (whether in NIS or not, even root) can not log in with rlogin and ssh. Only telnet seems to work. This pretty much makes login servers completely useless (maybe severity should be critical). Downgrading libc6 to 2.3.1-17 fixes this problem.

Well, the machines that are affected are an AMD K6 (not a -2) and an Athlon. I just checked my laptop, which is a Mobile Pentium II, and it doesn't have the problem... I also ruled out lwresd and IPv6 as possible things that make libc6 fail. So, apparently it has something to do with NIS, but the strange thing is that even if NIS is disabled (daemons stopped, original nsswitch.conf restored, normal /etc/shadow and passwd), it breaks! -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I disabled nis (just "db files" in nsswitch.conf), stopped the nis daemons, removed +:: from /etc/shadow and passwd, installed libc6 2.3.2-2 and restarted ssh. The same problem, I can't login remotely. Ssh'ing to localhost did work though. So I guess that rules out NIS. I suspect it has to do with PAM, because both sshd and in.rlogind (from the rsh-redone-server package) link with libpam0g, but in.telnetd does not. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#57712: Libc6 post-install fails on mounting /dev/pts
Package: libc6 Version: 2.1.3 Error: mount: devpts already mounted or /dev/pts busy mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /dev/pts Because of "set -e", the libc6.postinst script fails, and dpkg/apt-get stops processing packages any further. Suggested fix: Add '|| true' to the line containing the mount command, or remove that line (I don't really think it is necessary to have it there, /dev/pts is either already mounted at boot time or it is not, and in the latter case it probably is not wanted). Met vriendelijke groet, Guus Sliepen.
