Description Michal Jaegermann 2006-07-21 22:09:24 UTC
Description of problem:

After recent pam changes /var/log/secure is constantly badgered
by messages in this style:

pam_keyinit(gdm:session): UID:0 [0]  GID:0 [0]
pam_keyinit(gdm:session): JOIN = 593955641
pam_keyinit(gdm:session): UID:0 [0]  GID:0 [0]
pam_keyinit(gdm:session): GET SESSION = 593955641
pam_keyinit(gdm:session): GET SESSION = 1
pam_keyinit(sshd:session): UID:0 [0]  GID:0 [0]
pam_keyinit(sshd:session): JOIN = 614504224
pam_keyinit(sshd:session): UID:0 [0]  GID:0 [0]
pam_keyinit(sshd:session): GET SESSION = 614504224
pam_keyinit(sshd:session): GET SESSION = 1

This does not look like it conveys any useful information to
a user/administrator of a system while no 'debug' option is used
in /etc/pam.d/ files.  It also looks awfully redundant.

Is this some kind of development debugging turned on which later
will disappear?  If not then logwatch should be taught about that.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pam-0.99.5.0-3.fc6

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2006-07-21 22:41:35 UTC
The debugging messages were on by default. Fixed.
