So far it seems to work fine, but there's one thing that bothers me. I repeatedly get the following messages in the console: in openpam_dispatch(): pam_nologin.so: no pam_sm_authenticate() in openpam_dispatch(): pam_nologin.so: no pam_sm_setcred() One of those, or sometimes both, appear every time someone logs in, and since I use fetchmail to get mail from several accounts and deliver them locally, and then a local POP3 server from which my mail clients gets the mail, the logins, and thus the warning/error messages, are quite frequent. Now for my actual questions: 1. How severe are those messages? Should I assume that there are security holes? 2. How do I get rid of the messages? No matter how severe they are, I do NOT want them filling up the console. So how could I correct the problem? 2a. Why do those messages appear at all? Could I have done something wrong when building and installing world and/or kernel? -- Sincerly, Rolf Nielsen
