Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.1-3 Severity: normal I'm not sure that this is related to libc6 rather than, say, pam. Someone should confirm this.
I recently upgraded libc6 remotely on a system which uses kdm as its login manager. After the upgrade, I was unable to log in from kdm, although ssh and text-mode console logins still worked. In the log were these messages: Oct 22 12:39:18 blargenaut kde(pam_unix)[1022]: check pass; user unknown Oct 22 12:39:18 blargenaut kde(pam_unix)[1022]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= Oct 22 12:39:21 blargenaut kde(pam_unix)[1022]: check pass; user unknown Oct 22 12:39:45 blargenaut last message repeated 8 times Unfortunately, I upgraded pam and libc6 simultaneously, so I don't know which one is the culprit (or whether both together are, or whether the problem is from some other piece of software entirely) [UPGRADE] libc6 2.2.5-15 -> 2.3.1-3 [UPGRADE] libpam-modules 0.76-5 -> 0.76-7 [UPGRADE] libpam-runtime 0.76-5 -> 0.76-7 [UPGRADE] libpam0g 0.76-5 -> 0.76-7 Daniel -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux torrent.burrows.local 2.4.19 #3 Tue Sep 24 13:11:57 EDT 2002 = i686 Locale: LANG=3Den_US, LC_CTYPE=3Den_US (ignored: LC_ALL set) Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7 The Berkeley database routines= [gl -- no debconf information -- /-------------------- Daniel Burrows <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -------------------\ | Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology. | \------------- Got APT? -- Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org ------------/
