Description of problem: While booting, at least on x86_64 machine, I see the following: .... Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: [ OK ] Enabling local filesystem quotas: [ OK ] getgrnam failed for Enabling swap space: [ OK ] ^^^^^^^ ^^ INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 .... 'getrnmame'??? That looks like for quotas, not in use here, and "Enabling swap space" is really the next line. Hm ... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.99-1 How reproducible: 100%
a) are you using quotas b) do you have groups defined for pam_console use that don't exist?
> a) are you using quotas As I wrote "looks like for quotas, not in use here". That is why I got somewhat baffled by this message. > b) do you have groups defined for pam_console use that don't exist? That would be it. It turns out that when trying to get some reasonable behaviour from a scanner I accidentally added one character on some line, which is as a matter of fact not used at all, in /etc/security/console.perms. Without your question I could be looking for a long time. :-)
This is an actual bug in pam. If revert_user is NULL, revert_group is never initialized, and points to garbage.
