Whenever I add the line auth required pam_securetty.so
to my /etc/pam.d/common-auth Then ANY user can log in with ANY password (or with no password at all). Here's the file: #auth required pam_securetty.so auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth sufficient pam_winbind.so use_first_pass And /var/log/auth.log shows: Aug 17 07:32:11 cornea login[7604]: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=tty1 ruser= rhost= user=root Aug 17 07:32:11 cornea pam_winbind[7604]: request failed: No such user, PAM error was 10, NT error was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER Aug 17 07:32:11 cornea login[7604]: (pam_unix) session opened for user root by LOGIN(uid=0) Aug 17 07:32:11 cornea login[7604]: ROOT LOGIN on `tty1' What's going on? -- PGP Public key ID: 1024D/2DE827B3 fingerprint = 8797 A26D 0854 2EAB 0285 A290 8A67 719C 2DE8 27B3 See http://wwwkeys.pgp.net or any PGP keyserver for public key.
