Hello, I was trying to use runuser from utillinux to run a process as another user but ran into a problem. Running the command (as root) gives the following.
# runuser -ukevincox whoami runuser: Failure setting user credentials # echo $? 1 A similar command using sudo works but I was wondering why runuser doesn't. Looking around on the web I found that this error could be caused by missing PAM config files[1,2] however I don't really know PAM at all and was wondering if someone knew what the problem was in our case.
