Re: PAM

[Kabagambe Kenneth <kenneth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

after installing shadowutils ,i booted and now i cant login at a tty.
however i can ssh to the machine.
syslog give
 
mingetty[499]: tty1: can't exec /bin/login: No such file or directory
 mingetty[521]: tty1: can't exec /bin/login: No such file or directory

the PAM file is very basic
pam.d/login looks like this:
# /etc/pam.d/login
# (This is a fairly minimal 'login' configuration)
#
auth      requisite  /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth      requisite  /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
auth      required   /lib/security/pam_env.so
auth      required   /lib/security/pam_unix.so  nullok
account   required   /lib/security/pam_unix.so
session   required   /lib/security/pam_unix.so
password  required   /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6
password  required   /lib/security/pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok obscure


Is there any of regainin control?
Kenneth
