 Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2005 2:56 am Post subject: PAM issues with SSHing? |
 |
|
I just set up a new gentoo box, and it's giving me some troubles. It's downstairs, so instead of actually moving, I do a lot of SSHing. Whenever I do SSH, though, the console on the downstairs machine prints out a weird error message:
| Code: | PAM-env[13900]: Unknown PAM_ITEM: <DISPLAY>
sshd[13900]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; DISPLAY
PAM-env[13900]: Unknown PAM_ITEM: <XAUTHORITY>
sshd[13900]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; XAUTHORITY |
Do you what this is and how to get rid of it? It appears to be only cosmetic, but I'm not really sure.... |

| Your logger isn't setup correctly. This is a normal message, but it shouldn't be logging to console. |

It´s not a normal message, it´s a bug in PAM config file - /etc/security/pam_env.conf
Comment out everything in there and add the following two lines:
| Code: |
REMOTEHOST DEFAULT=localhost OVERRIDE=@{PAM_RHOST}
DISPLAY DEFAULT=${REMOTEHOST}:0.0 OVERRIDE=${DISPLAY}

Thanks worked for me to, but how to set
# Set the XAUTHORITY variable if pam_xauth is used
XAUTHORITY DEFAULT= OVERRIDE=@{XAUTHORITY}
| Code: |
Mar 9 15:27:42 tux PAM-env[31610]: Unrecognized Option: - ignoring line
Mar 9 15:27:42 tux PAM-env[31610]: Unknown PAM_ITEM: <XAUTHORITY>
Mar 9 15:27:42 tux sshd[31610]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; XAUTHORITY

All I had to do to get rid of the PAM errors and allow X11 forwarding was to enable the follwing setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config which is off by default:
