Hello,
When looking at /var/log/auth.log PAM seems to be logging a large
amount. For example, every 30 minutes cron runs a script as root. It
appears to me that each time the script is run, PAM adds 4 entries to
auth.log, recording a the session open and close along with 2 other
failures. Here's a snip from auth.log:
Jan 3 13:30:01 hostname CRON[31753]: (pam_unix) session opened for user
root by (uid=0)
Jan 3 13:30:01 hostname pam_limits[31753]: setrlimit limit #11 to
soft=-1, hard=-1 failed: Operation not permitted; uid=0 euid=0
Jan 3 13:30:01 hostname pam_limits[31753]: setrlimit limit #12 to
soft=-1, hard=-1 failed: Operation not permitted; uid=0 euid=0
Jan 3 13:30:01 hostname CRON[31753]: (pam_unix) session closed for user
root
Does anyone know why PAM fails twice every time a script is run from cron?
I'm running Debian 4.0.
Many thanks,
Craig.
