We have been telling people to do
su - alias
before setting up a list under ~alias. But under RH 6.1-2, you cannot
do this anymore unless you specify a "real" shell for alias. So the
usual entry
alias:x:104:502::/var/qmail/alias:/bin/true
will not work anymore. What is the reason? Could it be because of a
change in the pam conf file for su? I have
# cat /etc/pam.d/su
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow use_authtok nullok
session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session optional /lib/security/pam_xauth.so
