Is it possible to "reinstall" login (typing `which login` tells me it is a [tcsh] shell built-in)? Somehow login has become ensnared by this "pam" atrocity for which I have no use. I would prefer to untangle to two. For example, when I go to login on ttyv1 while already as root on ttyv0, I see the following: Aug 26 21:00:49 <4.3> dhcp-402-55 login: _pam_init_handlers: could not open /etc/pam.conf Aug 26 21:00:49 <4.3> dhcp-402-55 login: _pam_init_handlers: could not open /etc/pam.conf Aug 26 21:00:49 <4.3> dhcp-402-55 login: _pam_init_handlers: could not open /etc/pam.conf Aug 26 21:00:49 <4.3> dhcp-402-55 login: pam_start: failed to initialize handlers Aug 26 21:00:49 <4.3> dhcp-402-55 login: pam_start: failed to initialize handlers Aug 26 21:00:49 <4.3> dhcp-402-55 login: pam_start: failed to initialize handlers Aug 26 21:00:49 <4.3> dhcp-402-55 login: pam_start: Critical error - immediate abort Aug 26 21:00:49 <4.3> dhcp-402-55 login: pam_start: Critical error - immediate abort Aug 26 21:00:49 <4.3> dhcp-402-55 login: pam_start: Critical error - immediate abort Aug 26 21:00:54 <4.5> dhcp-402-55 login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv1 Aug 26 21:00:54 <4.5> dhcp-402-55 login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv1 I realize the errors in triplicate is due to some setting(s) in my /etc/syslogd.conf, but is there a way to "unlink" login and pam?
