 Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 9:51 pm Post subject: Cannot get PAM debug messages into /var/log/messages |
 |
|
I'm getting an intermittent auth failure from netatalk, and I would like to troubleshoot it. It's PAM that's denying authentication, and the regular messages I get out are uninformative:
| Code: | | Jan 27 16:46:37 compute0 afpd: pam_unix(netatalk:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=afpd ruser= rhost=laura-millers-imac user=millerti |
To enable PAM debugging, I've done the following:
- enable the "debug" USE flag for PAM
- touch /etc/pam_debug
- restart the PAM-using process (atalk)
I can't figure out if there's anything I need to tell syslog-ng. There are no filters, so as far as I can see, everything should come though into /var/log/messages. Whenever I restart either atalk or syslog-ng, my terminal is briefly flooded with the sorts of PAM debug messages I'm looking for, but then that stops, and I cannot find them being logged anywhere.
What am I missing?
Thanks! |

Did you have a look at /var/log/auth.log?
