Hi.
I have recently installed PAM on my new LFS system.
Now, when I do 'useradd test', it asks me for a password.
Which password is it asking for!?!
Whatever password I put in, I get useradd: PAM authentication failed
The same thing happens with userdel, and I assume groupadd/groupdel.
I have somehow got past this password prompt a few times before (I can't work out how now), and then it asks me for a new password- even if I am deleting a user! Who is the new password for?
How can I make it so that these programs don't ask for any passwords, and create users with no password and disabled accounts ("x" or "!" for the password field in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow), like they do without PAM?
My current PAM config (in /etc/pam.d) is:
login:
Code:
auth required pam_securetty.so
#auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
auth required pam_unix.so shadow nullok
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so shadow nullok
#password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3
#password required pam_unix.so shadow nullok use_authtok
session required pam_unix.so
su:
Code:
auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
auth required pam_unix_auth.so
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
useradd:
Code:
auth required pam_securetty.so
#auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
auth required pam_unix.so shadow nullok
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so shadow nullok
#password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3
#password required pam_unix.so shadow nullok use_authtok
session required pam_unix.so
OTHER:
Code:
#
# default; wake up! This application is not configured
#
auth required pam_warn.so
password required pam_warn.so
#
# default; standard UN*X access
#
#auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
Thanks in advance
Simon
