[SOLVED] Problem with su in current

stormtracknole · 02-02-2010, 02:37 PM

Is anyone else having this issue when running "su" after the latest batch of current updates? Every time I run su, I get the following:

Code:

configuration error - unknown item 'DIALUPS_CHECK_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'NOLOGIN_STR' (notify administrator)

I'm pretty sure this is related to the shadow package that was rebuilt on the last set up updates. Any ideas on what is going on here? Thanks ahead of time!

I installed the first shadow update, then the second when it came out. So my system has been through two upgrades for shadow - just to be clear. The config's that came in those packages are what I'm using.

I'm not seeing any of those issues you mention at all. I've never changed the configs for shadow either.

No problems here either.

I missed the first updated of this package. I just noticed that there is a login.defs.new file. I renamed it to the to login.defs and now everything seems to work. So, consider this thread as solved!

I just got the same message, but I'm wondering where to look for the login.defs.new file...

Thanks...

It should be /etc/login.defs.new - was that what you meant?

That's what I did. Made the /etc/login.defs.new /etc/login.defs. That did the trick.

Yes, thank you.. That's exactly what I meant.

EDIT: Worked like a charm!
