retitle 190215 [TO CLOSE 20050524] login: su should log successful root logins with LOG_NOTICE, like login does thanks
Reinhard, In Debian bug #190215, you mention: ======================================= login logs a message to syslog (with severity LOG_NOTICE) when a successful root login occures. This is a very good feature, and I think su should do the same. ======================================= As su and login now use PAM, su to root triggers the following entry in logs (auth.log actually): May 24 18:54:41 mykerinos su[21364]: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=7426 euid=0 tty=pts/10 ruser=bubulle rhost= user=root May 24 18:54:43 mykerinos su[21364]: pam_authenticate: Authenticationfailure May 24 18:54:43 mykerinos su[21364]: - pts/10 bubulle:root May 24 18:54:47 mykerinos su[21365]: + pts/10 bubulle:root May 24 18:54:47 mykerinos su[21365]: (pam_unix) session opened for user root by (uid=7426) The first is an unsuccessful attempt, the latter a successful attempt. I think this is enough information and hence I propose closing this bug report. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
