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
