Bug description:
I am working on a kubuntu hardy (8.04) beta installed from scratch.
Everything work well but when I switch user (su) I see this
error in /var/log/auth.log file:
: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_smbpass.so)
: PAM [error: /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory]
: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so
The user switch is successfully done .
The file pam_smbpass.so is not present on my systema and i have solved the
problem installing the package: libpam-smbpass.
Maybe a missed package ?
Best Regards
TEST CASE:
monitor /var/log/auth.log. With hardy version of libpam-runtime and libpam0g installed, and libpam-smbpass not installed, run 'sudo -k' followed by 'sudo ls'. Observe that three log messages are written about libpam-smbpass. Upgrade to hardy-proposed versions of libpam-runtime and libpam0g. Run 'sudo -k', then 'sudo ls' again. Observe that there are no log messages about libpam-smbpass.
Regression potential: minimal. No modules are known to use a
'missingok' option today, so there is minimal practical risk of
overlapping semantics. In particular, the smbpass module ignores this
as an unknown option, so this will not negatively impact users who do
have pam_smbpass installed. The maximum potential impact is that
users who use 'missingok' in their PAM configs for other modules, for
whatever reason, will find it more difficult to debug failures caused
by the named module being missing from the system.
