Either these accounts were not created as system account but are like postgresql, or these systems were updated from old systems, were the accounts were created wrongly during installation. Or fresh created accounts without password. Solution is simple: unlock the accounts, or replace the '!' with a '*' or a valid password. Besides, that pam_unix.so seems to work but not pam_unix2.so is a well known, heavy discussed bug (see linux-pam mailing list archive). If you don't use shadow accounts (pwunconv), pam_unix.so will refuse login, too. Only the shadow case was forgotten. --------------------------------------------- #623432 has a possible solution, i.e. change the pam configuration. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
