I'm looking for some help with this problem. I'd like to have

and for unknown users I get:

logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=unknown_user
rhost=189.22.108.130
so I can't key off of the pam_unix messages because that will lock
out known
users, and keying off of pam_sss will only block attacks that guess
a correct
username. Is there some way I can get pam_sss to log the unknown
user attempts?
How does your full pam configuration looks like. E.g. on Fedora I have a
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet_success
line between pam_unix and pam_sss. Since the user is not known it will
not have a uid and not go pass this line.
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet
auth sufficient pam_sss.so use_first_pass
auth required pam_deny.so
What you say doesn't make sense to me though. As I read the docs, if
uid < 500 (as returned by pam_unix), pam_succeed_if will fail and stop
pam processing, so as to prevent authenticating system users against
sss. But if uid >= 500, it continues on to pam_sss. For unknown
users (no uid), it would seem to me that it would have to continue on
to sss, otherwise how would you authenticate users not in
/etc/passwd? It just appears to me that pam_sss is not logging
attempts by unknown users, and I'm not sure why.
May be at this point it would make sense to file a ticket so that we
have it recorded and provide a more formal investigation.
