Package: login Version: 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-2 Severity: important The file /etc/securetty only lists X servers up to :3.1. For a two-three user system, it is common to see X servers with higher numbers (on my parent's laptop, I see gdm3 hanging at :6). On those servers, users without password cannot login anymore. Therefore please extend the list of secure ttys to something very high, so users will be able to login (let's say :99). In my opinion, this should be fixed for Squeeze (I think it's release critical, but that's the maintainers or the release teams decision). This should probably be fixed correctly in PAM later on, to allow local users to login regardless of the terminal, but it's too late to do bigger changes now. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (350, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages login depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpam-modules 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 1.1.1-6.1 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l login recommends no packages. login suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
