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.
