Package: libpam-modules
Version: 0.79-3
Severity: important
I am using anyterm (http://chezphil.org/anyterm/), which calls
/bin/login to start a session from a mingetty variant called
anygetty (included in the package).
However, following the libpam-modules upgrade in testing, I can no
longer login through this mechanism. My /var/log/auth.log contains
the cryptic lines:
Oct 19 23:49:15 localhost login[14142]: (pam_unix) authentication failure;
logname= uid=33 euid=33 tty=pts/2 ruser= rhost= user=jdg
Oct 19 23:49:19 localhost login[14142]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on `pts/2' from
`Anyterm: 127.0.0.1' FOR `jdg', Authentication failure
(uid 33 = www-data)
whereas with the previous version (0.76?), the logins worked fine.
My /etc/pam.d/login is the Debian-supplied version, with no
modifications.
Any ideas what might be causing this or what I could do to fix it?
Thanks,
Julian

Spot on - it's the loss of the setuid root of login that it no longer
works. I'll have to write a work-around for this.
