- that is: session optional /lib/security/pam_xauth.so That gives error messages in /var/log/secure when no X packages is installed, e.g.: Aug 13 04:02:00 ib pam_xauth[5549]: call_xauth: execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin /xauth Aug 13 04:02:00 ib pam_xauth[5548]: call_xauth: child returned 1 Aug 13 04:02:01 ib pam_xauth[5551]: call_xauth: execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin /xauth Aug 13 04:02:01 ib pam_xauth[5548]: call_xauth: child returned 1 I suggest that _if_ xauth&su "has to" be enabled in a "normal" setup, then it should be added by the xauth package.

Should be fixed in 0.68-3 or later when released; I have change those messages to only show up when debugging is enabled. The fact that it logged those messages was left over from when I was debugging pam_xauth and was not removed before only because I didn't normally tickle it myself. Thanks for the report!
