First of all, sorry to come to you so late. The former maintainer of the shadow package was not very active since June 2004 and a maintenance team finally took over the package some weeks ago. WHile cleaning out the bug log, we found this bug of yours: ========================================================== Package: login Version: 1:4.0.3-26 Severity: normal Apr 11 19:13:30 tara xscreensaver[3179]: (pam_securetty) access denied: tty ':0.0' is not secure ! Apr 11 19:13:34 tara su[5774]: (pam_securetty) access denied: tty 'pts/29' is not secure ! Apr 11 19:13:47 tara xscreensaver[3179]: (pam_securetty) access denied: tty ':0.0' is not secure ! It seems there should be some additions to /etc/securetty? ========================================================== The information you give is very terse. Could you please elaborate�? I highly suspect something completely not related to the shadow package. Given that I can't reproduce that bug, and if we do not get more details in a few days, we're likely to close this bug report. --
