Package: libpam-modules
Version: 1.1.3-9
Severity: normal
Hi,
I have recently set CONFIG_AUDIT_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE in my kernels,
which was a mistake in the first place. The docs for
CONFIG_AUDIT_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE say that this may be useful for
non-sysvinit init systems while I am still on sysvinit.
This resulted in breaking ssh login in the case that the ssh daemon
was restartet after system boot. The ssh daemon started at boot time
is not affected and works fine.
Reason for breakage is that ssh/libpam tries to write to
/proc/self/loginuid, gets back EPERM and dies a horrible death with a
less-than-helpful error message along the lines of "error: PAM:
pam_open_session(): Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified
session". On the client, it looks like the session was broken down in
an orderly matter ("Last login: Wed Jun 5 12:46:31 2013 from ..",
"Connection to hostname.example closed").
Please consider giving a more helpful error message in this case. It
was once more necessary to strace to find out what was going on on my
system.
Greetings
Marc
