This message comes from pam. The bug occurs when you kill the window without exiting first from "su -l". So, here's how to reproduce it: 1. as non-root user, within a gnome-terminal window, do "su -l" and enter correct password. 2. close the window without exiting from su shell. 3. examine /var/log/messages. You'll see warning message with corrupted text. Is this a NULL/dangling pointer? Can't reproduce on pam-0.77-55. |
