Re: Strange PAM message

2010-10-17 Thread Frederic Praca
Well in fact, I guess this is an automated break-in attempt coming from
a virus or troyan.
But, I already got such attacks in the past and never had this strange
PAM message.

 You probably have somebody trying (succeeding?, I have no idea,) to
 break in.
 
 I have one machine for the net, but none of the machines I do my work
 in ever get connected to the internet.  It's like the old west, still
 -- there really is no law enforcement.

  FYI, I have a sshd server prohibiting root logins so the second log
  made me think about a possible break-in attempt and maybe a
  succeeding one :-(
 
  Any idea about what these messages mean ?
