Hi all,
I've just finished an `emerge -e world` rebuild, and am having this rather annoying problem with pam_unix.so. When I try to authenticate using anything that uses PAM (and includes /etc/pam.d/system-auth, which most services do), I get following error in syslog:
| Code: | | Oct 22 07:20:28 src@thelair login(pam_unix)[12879]: auth could not identify password for [ticho] |
My /etc/pam.d/system-auth file is pretty much default, from sys-libs/pam-0.78-r2:
| Code: | #%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so likeauth nullok nodelay use_first_pass
auth required pam_deny.so
account sufficient pam_unix.so
password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3
password sufficient pam_unix.so nullok md5 shadow use_authtok
password required pam_deny.so
session required pam_limits.so
session optional pam_unix.so |
I'm out of ideas on what could be wrong. User exists in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (as it has been for over two years), and has password set. I've tried changing password for the user, but to no avail. /etc/nsswitch.conf looks okay as well, having "compat" values for passwd:, shadow: and group:
Any hints?
