I've got pop3s enabled (default rh7). I am trying to get root login via
pop3s. I've put the debugging on in the pop pam configuration file.
Looking at the logfile i get "returning 0 (Success)" as the last output from
pam_stack before
ipop3d[14340]: Logout user=root host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
If I put in the wrong password in then the last output from pam_stack is
returning 15 (Authentication service cannot retrieve user credentials),
before the logout log entries as per above.
The success of pam in the first instance suggests to me that pam isn't
blocking the root login and it's something in the pop3 daemon.
>From what I can make of the pam configuration file for pop it calls the
system-auth pam configuration file, for auth and account. Will the auth
call from pop just process the corresponding auth lines in system-auth? If
so, from the arguments passed to pam_unix.so (likeauth nullok md5 shadow) I
can't see anything that would block root login. Indeed, other services
(e.g. swat) have exactly the same in the pam configuration file, and I can
login via root by them. Is it something within the pop3 daemon then?
Yours
Tristan
