https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=200838 werner@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID ------- Comment #6 from werner@novell.com 2006-09-12 04:30 MST ------- This is INVALID because not having a /var/log/lastlog is simply a broken system. In that case root has to repair the system, e.g. reboot into single user mode. And it is a bug to remove the active system files in /var/log/ in the system directory /var/log/ its self. E.g. without lastlog it is impossible to trace a broken login. Ignoring a missing /var/log/lastlog is a security risk. Beside this the error is shown by /bin/login used by mingetty and if /bin/login fails it is the job of mingetty to return this failure. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
