Package: libpam-modules
Version: 0.76-22
Severity: normal

Having this in common-auth:
----------------------------------------------
auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so
auth required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
auth required pam_permit.so
----------------------------------------------
and nothing else yields this in syslog:

----------------------------------------------
Nov 14 10:00:55 less unix_chkpwd[5387]: check pass; user unknown
Nov 14 10:00:55 less xscreensaver: (pam_unix) authentication failure; \
logname= uid=1018 euid=1018 tty=:0.0 ruser= rhost=  user=bahner
----------------------------------------------

The first of the two entries is logged as auth.error, which is wrong in
the context. Even without default=ignore this probably shouldn't warrant
more than auth.warn.

There are no common users in /etc/[passwd|shadow], and there shouldn't
be, but in case of a missing LDAP-server root should gain access without
having to wait for a network timeout.

Kind regards,
Lars Bahner

PS. xscreensaver is only an example. This error is true for all
applications using common-auth.
