Description of problem: Messages in /var/log/messages adding faulty module: /usr/lib64/security/pam_elogind.so unable to dlopen(/usr/lib64/security/pam_elogind.so): /usr/lib64/security/pam_elogind.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory elogind.so is missing Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pam-1.3.0-6.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Regards
This module is not part of Linux-PAM project. If you need it become a Fedora packager and submit a package with the module for review.
Hi, Therefore, you should comment out the line : session optional pam_elogind.so in /etc/pam.d/sddm-greeter, that causes the error message. Regards,
Really, that module shouldn't be referenced in that config file. And that file comes from the sddm package. So it looks like someone might have fat fingered the packaged config file. The bug is non-fatal, since I have at least one system with the misconfiguration that's working perfectly fine. But it was also a red herring when I was trying to debug one that wasn't.
At the time of this comment (feb 26 2018), I still get that error message in my journalctl output, and the line mentioned by Pierre is still there in the config file.
still around in fedora 28.. sddm-0.17.0-3.fc28.x86_64
This is fixed in sddm-0.18.0 (for f29+ only for now). The fix will be backported for prior fedora releases, when/if needed, but not to only fix this mostly-cosmetic bug.
