Description Kieran Clancy 2008-11-15 23:55:09 UTC

Description of problem:
If Fedora is installed without X11/gnome/etc, gnome-keyring-pam is not included in the install. This leads to messages like this being logged in /var/log/secure:
Nov  9 20:00:01 localhost passwd: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so): /lib64/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Nov  9 20:00:01 localhost passwd: PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so

This is due to the line in /etc/pam.d/passwd:
password   optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so

passwd should either depend on gnome-keyring-pam, or gnome-keyring-pam should add that extra line in /etc/pam.d/passwd as a postinstall.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
passwd-0.75-2.fc9.x86_64
pam-1.0.1-4.fc9.x86_64

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2008-11-18 09:09:25 UTC

We should rather enhance PAM to be able not to log missing optional modules.
