I use pam_mount to transparently decrypt my encrypted home partition: The password for the encrypted partition is the same as my user password and when I login, the user password is passed to pam_mount, so I don't have to enter it twice. Naturally when calling commands like "su" there is no user password to pass to pam_mount and hence the password has to be re-entered. So when I call "su myusername" as root, it asks for a password: root@earth:~# su tittel reenter password for pam_mount: I assume the same problem will happen if somebody uses the official "encrypted home directory" feature provided by YaST, so I don't think that this problem is specific to my configuration (besides that there is nothing wrong with my configuration anyways). If possible the YaST network module should not depend on "su $username" always succeeding without password, because depending on the PAM configuration it just won't do that. I'll attach the output of "pstree -paul" right away. Thanks for digging into this. -- 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.
