Hi all, I am trying to ssh into my fc18 server as root and have the following message in syslog:
Mar 18 18:29:20 bwipropnew sshd[12473]: pam_succeed_if(sshd:auth): requirement "uid >= 1000" not met by user "root" I see this is defined in /etc/login.defs as well as various files in /etc/pam.d/. I know I'm not supposed to ssh as root, but I've configured sshd_config to only allow it from specific IPs and only with a key. I'm just more curious why this error message is being produced? How does the system discern a system user from a regular user, other than by its UID being greater than 1000? It appears to only be a warning according to the pam.d files: # grep 1000 password* password-auth:auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet_success password-auth:account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 1000 quiet password-auth-ac:auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet_success password-auth-ac:account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 1000 quiet It seems sometimes I receive this error/warning while other times I don't, so I'm really not sure what affect this is having. Is this part of the sssd security system? Where can I find more information about how this all works? Is this indeed only a warning at this point?
