It would be useful for those of us not masters of the mysteries of pam to have a default /etc/pam.d/ssh configuration file that contains a sane default setup (e.g. try to unlock but don't prompt for a password if the given one authed earlier fails)... Or at least one in %doc. :)
Well, just for some hints. Here are my pam configs for "login" and "gdm". Besides pam_ssh, I also use pam_console for authentication (to provide "login once" feature). Both for FC5. /etc/pam.d/gdm: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_console.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok nodelay auth optional pam_ssh.so try_first_pass account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so session optional pam_ssh.so /etc/pam.d/login: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_securetty.so auth sufficient pam_console.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok nodelay auth optional pam_ssh.so try_first_pass account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth # pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule session required pam_selinux.so close session include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so session optional pam_ssh.so # pam_selinux.so open should be the last session rule session required pam_selinux.so open
I think that the best would be to package the main page. I'll look into doing that. We could also have an example file tuned for the distribution. Currently, as I said in the other bug there is a lack of standardization of pam config files in fedora in any case.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I haven't have time to look at the pam config to see if it was standardized. This bug is still in rawhide in th emean time.
There is nothing to triage here. Switching to ASSIGNED so that developers have responsibility to do whatever they want to do with it.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
