Subject: Re: PAM and Others Problem
Doesn't appear to me that any of these problems are caused by potato or
PAM. You have an unchecked fs mounted (maybe even file systemcorruption)
and tons of kernel errors. What kernel version are you running? Did your
system crash recently? And why is your date "Jan 14"? Crap, why does it
say localhost isn't responding?
I send the mail first for the PAM problem. I think it can be for the
potato dist, I'm not sure, but su, gdm and login don't run. The symptoms
are:
login: Before prompting for the login (writing it and pressing
enter) I get a "login incorrect" message and I can't write the
password in any moment
gdm: If I acces with root gdm tells me that koko (my host name)
isn't into the /etc/hosts file, but it is on the file!, but start
the session. If I log using any other user I get a "Unknown PAM Error"
message in the gdmgreeter and I can log in
su: When I try to su from root I get a
su: Unknown Linux-PAM error
(Ignored)
but I can change to any user, but when I do the same from any
other user than root to any other user I get the same message
without "suing"
My second problem is the neighbour table overflow. All the TCP/IP
connections runs well except the RPC services (getting the
"portmap: localhost not responding" message, that seems to be related
with the neighbour table overflow problem. I'm using the 2.2.12 kernel
two month ago, and I never had any problem with it. My system don't crash
recently, and the only thing I did the Friday was upgrade the old potato
packages using apt-get.
PD: The Jan 14 date is my BIOS clock that don't runs well (I have a K6-200
but the computer tells me I have a 486DX2/66, anyway the Linux detect
correctly the CPU type and speed), and every day the computer counts a
few hours more. I wanna install xntpd to set the clock in the start of the
computer, but I don't know any ntp server accesed publicly (Do you know
anyone?).
I know these problems are a little strange (like a lot of things in the
Computers World), but If anybody can tell me anything related with this
problems, help me please.
