[Solved] Error lastest pambase version

K3N8 · 2019-02-10 14:05:41

Hi guys,

After updating my server I ran into authorisation problems for dovecot with the latest pambase version 20190105.1-1. I got the following error from dovecot:

auth-worker(882): Error: pam([account info],<...>): pam_open_session() failed: Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session

After I rolled pambase back to the previous version. The problem was gone.

I changed /etc/pam.d/dovecot:

from:

auth    required        pam_unix.so nullok
account required        pam_unix.so

to:

auth     required        pam_unix.so nullok
account  required        pam_unix.so 
password  required        pam_unix.so 
session  required        pam_unix.so

That seems to fix all the issues with the latest version of pambase!

Now I have issues with vsftpd.

vsftpd[###]: pam_warn(ftp:auth): function=[pam_sm_authenticate] flags=0 service=[ftp]

I tried to make a file /etc/pam.d/vsftpd with the same information as above but that doesn't work. Any suggestions? This issue will probably effect all applications where you need to authenticate.

This made me think:

pam_warn(ftp:auth)

So I created a /etc/pam.d/ftp instead of /etc/pam.d/vsftpd. That worked!
