hi everyone, I hope someone can help me on this... I modify the pam configuration today to accept connection from a user with uid&gid = 0. In /etc/pam.d/system-auth previously have this lines : ########################################################################### auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so broken_shadow account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore] pam_ldap.so account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok password sufficient pam_ldap.so use_authtok password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_ldap.so ################################################################################### and i modify the auth part to : auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid = 0 auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so I'm not sure about the consequences of this modifications. But tell me if i'm wrong, but a) the 3rd line "auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid = 0" permit user with uid lower than 0 to authenticate against the system and log it b) the 4th line permit login to user with uid more than 500. do not log it AND if any of other auth "method" have failed it return it to the pgm making the call to pam. right ?
