Hi, after "yum update" on sunday, June 19, login is impossible.. I found out that the new new installed util-linux-2.12p-9.5 is responsible for this behaviour. Some strange entries in /var/log/messages: Jun 20 07:14:21 sunny login(pam_unix)[2920]: session opened for user backes by (uid=0) Jun 20 07:14:21 sunny pam_loginuid[2920]: set_loginuid failed opening loginuid Jun 20 07:14:21 sunny pam_loginuid[2920]: set_loginuid failed I had to comment out the following line in /etc/pam.d/login: #session required pam_loginuid.so Now, login runs. -- Best regards Joachim Backes <backes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> University of Kaiserslautern,Computer Center [RHRK], Systems and Operations, High Performance Computing, D-67653 Kaiserslautern, PO Box 3049, Germany -------------------------------------------------- Phone: +49-631-205-2438, FAX: +49-631-205-3056 http://hlrwm.rhrk.uni-kl.de/home/staff/backes.html
