Hi,
I also have Suse 10.1 with lattest up-dates.
My /etc/security/pam_pwcheck.conf only contains:
password nullock
and I have no /etc/default/ directory ?!?! Also my /etc/passwd is a plain "normal" passwd file. the /etc/shadow contains the correct Blowfish passwords.
Do you have Local authentication on your system or do you use NIS ?
I was using LDAP auth. and I kinda figured out that I had concurrent user's db ! Some users where listed in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow but not all. I think that's my issue. I just need to clean up and set local auth instead of LDAP for all users and modules. I don't have much idea where to look conf files though. Basically, how one changes from LDAP auth to Local ? What are the security implications ? Any hints ? Many thanks Miguel Albuquerque Network Administrator DISCLAIMER - This message is intended for the use of the named person only.
