[SOLVED] PAM pam_exec.so pam_exec(sshd:session): conversation failed

Hi,

I was looking for something in my journald and I realized that I have a lot of "pam_exec(sshd:session): conversation failed" error messages.
Then I have been easily correlated theses events to the pam_exec.so module, when I comment the line I don't have theses messages anymore..
I am using the module for my motd.

nano /etc/pam.d/sshd
session   optional  pam_exec.so         stdout /usr/bin/scripts/motd.sh

The messages are logged when I logoff or terminate the ssh session, I have one line in journald for each line in my motd.

Feb 08 20:37:53 sshd[2915]: pam_exec(sshd:session): conversation failed
Feb 08 20:37:53 sshd[2915]: pam_exec(sshd:session): conversation failed
Feb 08 20:37:53 sshd[2915]: pam_exec(sshd:session): conversation failed
Feb 08 20:37:53 sshd[2915]: pam_exec(sshd:session): conversation failed
Feb 08 20:37:53 sshd[2915]: pam_exec(sshd:session): conversation failed
Feb 08 20:37:53 sshd[2915]: pam_exec(sshd:session): conversation failed

Any idea why this happens?
many thanks for your help

Any idea?
no idea if it is correlated but after some times I need to restart systemd-logind as I experiment 25 delay to connect with this message:
pam_systemd(sshd:session): Failed to create session: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out

I already see threads regarding the 25 sec delays but nothing on my original problem explained on my previous message

Without changing anything this has been solved after some updates of pam module
