openSSH causing pam errors in /var/log/secure

openSSH causing pam errors in /var/log/secure

Post by bruc » Fri, 09 Mar 2001 22:47:05



I recently switched from ssh to openSSH. Using openSSL-0.9.5a and
openSSH-2.5.1p1 on RH 6.1 (2.2.16-3 kernel).

Everything seems to be working normally, but I am getting new/unfamiliar
messages in /var/log/secure. A sample:

Mar  8 08:14:54 files1 pam_stack[4932]: not passing PAM_SERVICE back up
to parent
Mar  8 08:14:54 files1 pam_stack[4932]: not passing PAM_USER back up to
parent
Mar  8 08:14:54 files1 pam_stack[4932]: not passing PAM_TTY back up to
parent
Mar  8 08:14:54 files1 pam_stack[4932]: not passing PAM_RHOST back up to
parent
Mar  8 08:14:54 files1 pam_stack[4932]: not passing PAM_CONV back up to
parent

1. What is this?
2. Is it anything to worry about?
3. Any suggestions for fixing it (other then putting them in
logcheck.ignore)?
