And I have the feeling that this used to work in the past. Replying to myself here, but...: Obviously, /bin/login is responsible for handling utmp entries even when PAM is in used, and the upstream maintainer disabled this in the shadow-4.1.5 release (I could verify that it worked in shadow-4.1.4.3). The issue seems to be known already, however, and should be fixed soon, as can be seen at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659957 That's enough for me to know then, I'll just wait for a new release of "shadow", which will make it work again. I still thought I'd post this follow-up here, in case anyone else stumbles over this issue. ;-) Greetings, Nils -- Nils Holland * Ti Systems, Wunstorf-Luthe (Germany) Our Gentoo mirror: http://rush.tisys.org/ (IPv4 + IPv6) Powered by GNU/Linux since 1998
