Hi!
After a 'emerge pam' a 'normal' user have the following
message on the console (after exit):
login(pam_unix)[19658]: session closed for user tester
pam_console[19658]: getgrnam failed for cdwriter
Whats the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Bye

It appears that the instead of having group "cdwriter" in /etc/group, the group "cdrw" exists. If you look in /etc/security/console.perms, the group defined for the burner should be cdwriter. Just change cdrw to cdwriter in the /etc/group and the error should go away. Hope that helps.  |

| Just wondering, what would cause this misconfiguration to happen? I'm guessing it may be during updates on baselayout? |

In my oppinion, it would be more proper to change /etc/security/console.perms, more so the part that says 'root.cdwriter' to 'root.cdrw'. Just a thought. (this is what I did, by the way, after I was tired of logsentry telling me about it.)

Sorry if I get into this but, I've had this problem and the issue was that I didn't remember to
#rc-update add <system-logger> boot

Feel free to jump into this:)
I know this isn't an "old problem" since I'm having it  (I reinstall like once a week ... don't ask)
I'm not getting it anymore with my "fix".
And yes, my system logger is running.

The the install guide has the system logger starting in the default runlevel.

The install guide might have it, but many forget to do it. |

Odd, we are having this problem for months now, has anybody ever submitted a bug report?
Your fix is indeed more logical, thx! |
