Public bug reported: I run a server with ubuntu lucid, pam et al 1.1.1-2ubuntu5.3. I used pam-auth-update to enable unix-style and ldap style authentication. For accounts that exist in my LDAP only, i get on every (successful!) authentication attempt the following message in auth.log:
dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=xyz rhost=127.0.0.1 user=xyz This appears to happen because of any of the following problems: 1. the unix module has a higher priority than the ldap module 2. the unix module itself logs errors even if its "control" settings (ie. the second field in common-auth) ask it to ignore such a problem 3. the unix module is not supposed to be configured at the same time as the ldap module. ** Affects: pam (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/859102 Title: pam_unix should not always complain about failed authentication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/859102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
