i think it's pam problem here. reassign to correct component

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2004-10-07 14:20:05 UTC
What's the mount point of your zip drive?


Comment 3 Tomas Mraz 2004-10-07 14:20:47 UTC
Please show me the relevant line from your /etc/fstab file.


Comment 4 Tomas Mraz 2004-10-11 12:23:24 UTC
This is a problem with udev - the zip mount device isn't there for
pam_console to change ownership if the zip diskette isn't inserted
into the drive during reboot.

Reassigning.


Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2004-10-11 13:18:35 UTC
well not much I can do about that... there is no /dev/zip in
/etc/security/console.perms
otherwise one could create a symlink to /dev/zip with a udev rule and
pam_console would do the rest

btw, victor, could you please post the output of:
# udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/hdb`

Comment 7 victor lorenz 2004-10-11 13:46:25 UTC
udevinfo -a -p 'udevinfo' -q 'path' -n '/dev/hdb'
device not found in database

(if this is correct command line??)

Comment 8 Harald Hoyer 2004-10-11 14:16:34 UTC
try:
# udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q 'path' -n '/dev/hda')                 
           


Comment 9 Harald Hoyer 2004-10-11 14:17:31 UTC
oops... hdb of course... you missed some "`" in comment #7
# udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q 'path' -n '/dev/hdb')

Comment 10 victor lorenz 2004-10-11 23:27:00 UTC
$ udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q 'path' -n '/dev/hdb')
couldn't get the class device


Comment 11 Harald Hoyer 2004-10-12 08:07:18 UTC
try to mount a zip disk as root, then retry, please

Comment 12 Harald Hoyer 2004-10-14 15:52:17 UTC
/dev/zip needs to be in /etc/security/console.perms
$ rpm -qf /etc/security/console.perms
pam-0.77-61


Comment 13 Tomas Mraz 2004-10-19 12:35:37 UTC
Done in pam-0.77-62. However I'm not convinced it will help.
