The contents of /etc/pam.d/* are immaterial, here; we know that it's the unix_chkpwd process that's segfaulting, which means pam_unix must be involved. And I have seen bugs more recently whereby pam_unix will fail open if unix_chkpwd crashes unexpectedly; but the only case where I've /seen/ unix_chkpwd crash unexpectedly has been with a bug that post- dates the version in hardy.
So what would really help here is a backtrace of unix_chkpwd's crash. -- unix_chkpwd crashes on gnome-screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
