Attached is an alternate solution for this issue, following Colin's suggestion of a 'missingok' option.
I'm not altogether happy with this as a solution because up until now the module option list has been entirely pass-through by libpam, but the previous fix I proposed is also inadequate because all logging that uses the 'auth' facility, including debug logging, is written to /var/log/auth.log by default, so lowering the log severity of these messages is insufficient to reduce the log spam; and dropping all such log messages for all 'optional' modules would be a significant hindrance to debugging. So I think we should go ahead with this second patch under the circumstances, and solve this problem correctly for intrepid using module hooks. ** Attachment added: "ubuntu-no-error-if-missingok" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14548577/ubuntu-no-error-if-missingok -- error in auth.log when switch user -- pam_smbpass.so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216990 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
