http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1171003 Bug ID: 1171003 Summary: use common-auth/common-account for pam configuration Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Virtualization:Tools Assignee: virt-bugs@suse.de Reporter: okurth@vmware.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Currently, open-vm-tools ships with a simple pam config that tries to work in different OSes. However, if a user intends to configure pam authentication for a range of services in the VM, they would need to edit the vmtoolsd pam config file too. To make it easier, the package should install this for /etc/pam.d/vmtoolsd: auth required pam_shells.so auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth [user_unknown=ignore success=ok ignore=ignore auth_err=die default=bad] pam_securetty.so auth include common-auth account include common-account This is as recommended in this kb article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78251 For future versions of open-vm-tools we are planning to ship pam config files that are suited for specific OSes, like SLE/OpenSuSE and others. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
