--- Begin Message ---Package: libpam-mklocaluser Version: 0.7 Severity: serious Tags: patch User: debian-edu@lists.debian.org Usertags: debian-edu Yesterday it was brought to my attention that the roaming workstation (aka laptop) profile in Debian Edu did not work in Wheezy. Its design is that the first time a user log in when the machine is connected to the school network, a local user is created for the given user, and that user can then log in on the laptop also when the machine is outside the school network. When trying this with the packages in wheezy, the user is not able to log in and is thrown out when entering username and password in kdm. This is the relevant entries in /var/log/auth.log when trying: May 4 12:59:54 testhost kdm: :0[19878]: pam_unix(kdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= user=testuser May 4 12:59:55 testhost kdm: :0[19878]: pam_sss(kdm:auth): authentication success; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= user=testuser May 4 12:59:55 testhost kdm: :0[19878]: pam_unix(kdm:session): session opened for user testuser by (uid=0) May 4 12:59:55 testhost pam_mklocaluser[19878]: Creating local passwd entry uid=1000(testuser) gid=1000(testuser) gecos='Petter Reinholdtsen' home=/home/testuser May 4 12:59:55 testhost pam_mklocaluser[19878]: Unexpected exception, should never happen: must be string, not exceptions.AttributeError May 4 12:59:55 testhost pam_mklocaluser[19878]: pam_ck_connector(kdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0 May 4 12:59:55 testhost kdm: :0[19878]: pam_unix(kdm:session): session closed for user testuser I tracked down the cause, and it is triggered by changes to some python library, possibly the subprocess library.
