I've edited the common-session file, and got the updates installed. It all works fine.....
BUT - it seems to me I should be able to revert to the original common- session file and not get the Authentification failed error. Doesn't work that way - putting the pam_deny.so line back into common-session brings up the Authentification failed error again. I've tried following Steve's suggestion to remove the existing common- session and run pam-auth-update --force, but it fails saying it can't stat common-session - not surprising, as I removed it. What next? Do we need the line "session requisite pam_deny.so" in common-session, or was redundant? -- [PAM] Unable to login: Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
