[SOLVED] Login on virtual tty (such as tty3) dumps core

When logging in on any tty (other than the one owned by my gdm session) /usr/bin/login dumps core on 6.3.7-arch1-1 (x86_64)

Doing a coredumpctl debug <dump> shows

gdb) bt

Any one else seeing similar behaviour?

Make sure you don't have unmerged/unhandled pacnew files flying about in /etc/pam.d

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/27892 ? Although that should be fixed in systemd 253.5-1 by https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stab … 43a60c4490

Re: [SOLVED] Login on virtual tty (such as tty3) dumps core

I'm running systemd 253 (253.5-1-arch) so I'd expect the issue you posted to be fixed. I checked for unhandled  pacnew files in /etc/pam.d and your suggestion was bang on the money: I had an unhandled system-auth file - replaced the old file with the new after doing a diff and I can log right in on virtual ttys.

Thanks to both of you
