After upgrading openSUSE 11.1 to openSUSE 11.2 (Milestone 8) I saw in log files, that "su nobody" no longer works. Switching to nobody is used for instance during (remote) login using XDM, KDM etc. From /var/log/xdm.errors: (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) Driver not XRANDR 1.2 capable, ignoring DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_* settings su: incorrect password 0 items in XFree86_VT property! "su nobody" also fails in command line: mybox:~ # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) Gruppen=0(root) mybox:~ # su nobody su: incorrect password Any ideas? Here is some additional information: 1) It has nothing to do with "Apparmor" (tested with default kernel and with Apparmor-free kernel) 2) mybox:~ # passwd -S nobody nobody LK 05/17/1994 0 10000 -1 -1 3) mybox:~ # grep nobody /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/passwd:nobody:x:65534:65533:nobody:/var/lib/nobody:/bin/bash /etc/shadow:nobody:!!:8902:0:10000:::: 3) mybox:~ # cat /etc/pam.d/su #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_rootok.so auth include common-auth account include common-account password include common-password session include common-session session optional pam_xauth.so 4) From /var/log/messages Oct 8 11:39:14 mybox su: FAILED SU (to nobody) bv on /dev/pts/3 Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
