Subject: [gentoo-user] pam_get_uid: no such user
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:29:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <511BE981.6030803@gmail.com> (raw)

I updated my "server" a while back, and just recently I noticed this in
/var/log/messages:

Feb 13 11:26:14 coretwoduo login[25575]: pam_tally2(login:auth):
pam_get_uid; no such user

I have thousands of entries in my logs. It doesn't seem to  prevent me
from logging in though.

I have figured out that it's looking for a user 'auth'? I don't see that
on my system.

Is this a misconfiguration of pam? Or update gone wonky? I've never seen
this before.

Dan
