If an application with a UID greater than 0 tries to authenticate a
user using pam_unix2.so (e.g. gnome-screensaver or su) it starts to
forks numerous instances of the helper binary unix2_chkpwd:
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
7690 pts/2 Ss 0:00 -bash
12696 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_ su - FidlerAnke
12700 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_ /sbin/unix2_chkpwd su FidlerAnke
12730 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_ /sbin/unix2_chkpwd su
FidlerAnke
12744 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_ /sbin/unix2_chkpwd su
FidlerAnke
12766 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_ /sbin/unix2_chkpwd su
FidlerAnke
12810 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_ /sbin/unix2_chkpwd
su FidlerAnke
12813 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_
/sbin/unix2_chkpwd su FidlerAnke
12827 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_
/sbin/unix2_chkpwd su FidlerAnke
12834 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_
/sbin/unix2_chkpwd su FidlerAnke
12860 pts/2 SL+ 0:00 \_
/sbin/unix2_chkpwd su FidlerAnke
I couldn't reproduce this bug. Could you tell use how exactly to do
that? Including your full PAM configuration would be probably helpful.
