Package: ngetty Version: 1.0-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
problem manifests during login dialog, or after dialog was completed. either case, the screen is blanked, and the "login:" prompt is presented again, after a variable time elapsed since login or login attempt - mostly between 1 and 20 seconds. According auth.log, username or password are irretrievable, even though actual login is possible, albeit not persistent. Downgrading pam to wheezy version doesn't change the behaviour. downgrading ngetty to 1.0, from wheezy, causes error symptoms to disappear, and reverts to apparently stable login behaviour again. from auth.log: login[24632]: pam_unix(login:auth): auth could not identify password for [user] login[24632]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'user', Authentication failure login[24632]: pam_securetty(login:auth): unexpected response from failed conversation function login[24632]: pam_securetty(login:auth): cannot determine username login[24632]: FAILED LOGIN (2) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'UNKNOWN', Error in service module login[24632]: pam_securetty(login:auth): unexpected response from failed conversation function login[24632]: pam_securetty(login:auth): cannot determine username login[24632]: FAILED LOGIN (3) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'UNKNOWN', Error in service module login[24632]: pam_securetty(login:auth): unexpected response from failed conversation function login[24632]: pam_securetty(login:auth): cannot determine username login[24632]: FAILED LOGIN (4) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'UNKNOWN', Error in service module login[24632]: pam_securetty(login:auth): unexpected response from failed conversation function login[24632]: pam_securetty(login:auth): cannot determine username login[24632]: FAILED LOGIN (5) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'UNKNOWN', Error in service module login[24632]: TOO MANY LOGIN TRIES (5) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'UNKNOWN' login[24632]: pam_mail(login:session): cannot determine username login[24632]: pam_unix(login:session): close_session - error recovering username -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
