Fail to login

satimis

Hi folks,

BLFS 6.1
FC3 Host

On chroot environment after having installed
CrackLib-2.8.3
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ ... stlfs/cracklib.html
Linux-PAM-0.80
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ ... tlfs/linux_pam.html

reinstalled Shadow-4.0.9 according to the book;
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ ... postlfs/shadow.html

I was held on 'login' (with CrackLib), saying "bash: /etc/pam.d/login: No such file or directory"

According to the "Warning" near the bottom on the same page, reinstalled Shadow-4.0.9 with "--without-libpam" and also moved the /etc/login.defs.orig backup file to /etc/login.defs

Now I can't login LFS 6.1 with following warning;
LoginAM Failure, aborting: Critical error - immediate abort

I did it twice including removing the source tree of Shadow-4.0.9 and download new packages from Internet as well

What I discovered are follows;

[root@localhost satimis]# find /mnt/lfs/ -name login.defs[code:1]
/mnt/lfs/sources/shadow-4.0.9/etc/login.defs
/mnt/lfs/etc/login.defs[/code:1]

[root@localhost satimis]# ls -al /mnt/lfs/etc/ | grep pam.d
[root@localhost satimis]# ls -al /mnt/lfs/etc/ | grep pam.conf
Both no printout

Both of them were not on;
/etc/pam.d/
/etc/pam.conf

Please advise how to fix the login problme.  Whether moving pam.d and pam.conf to their correct directories.

Just vim a /etc/pam.d/login

[code:1]
root@test /root]# more /etc/pam.d/login
　　#%PAM-1.0
　　auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
　　auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
　　auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
　　account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
　　password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
　　session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
　　session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so
[/code:1]
The code above cp from my centos 4.1 , wish it can work correctly.

Hi linky_fan,

Tks for your advice and code.

On BLFS 6.1 Section Shadow-4.0.9
Chapter 4. Security
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/postlfs/shadow.html       

The step in creating /etc/pam.d directory could not be found compelling me stopped in the middle on that page.  As a chain action it caused "unable to login"  I think that on chroot environment after running

# install -v -m755 -d /etc/pam.d

and complete that page, the "login problem" will be solved.

I'll come back to the Forum again afterwards.

Tks

B.R.
