Package: libpam-modules Version: 1.0.1-1 Severity: normal
I use xscreensaver to lock my screen, and while this works OK I get the following warnings in syslog when unlocking the screen: Aug 1 18:43:33 abc xscreensaver[7872]: pam_unix(xscreensaver:auth): access denied: tty ':0.0' is not secure ! /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver contains: @include common-auth @include common-account and common-auth has auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure I can get rid of the warning by replacing the "@include common-auth" with "auth required pam_unix.so". The reason for the warning is that pam_unix/support.c uses _pammodutil_tty_secure() to check if the tty is secure, and resets the nullok option if it isn't. And _pammodutil_tty_secure() in pam_securetty/tty_secure.c emits the warning. So the warning is emitted even if the account password is non-null. Both _pammodutil_tty_secure() and the nullok_secure option were added by Debian patches.
