adding a login account, deleting it, adding the same name
again will lock the user name out with the above message.
After deleting it, I made sure that the user home directory is
gone, the entries in /etc/passwd, group and shadow for this
user are gone.
Then, when I add the same user name again, I cannot use the
graphical logon window - I geht the Xsession: login for <user> is
disabled - message box prompting me to click "OK" - Bs - it's
not OK!!!
I think there is somewhere an entry remaining in some auth database and
the authentication fails.
My syslog entry:
Jun 29 01:27:50 munich PAM-unix2[18442]: session started for user sam2,
service xdm
Jun 29 01:28:00 munich PAM-unix2[18442]: session finished for user sam2,
service xdm
the /etc/pam.d/xdm has:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so nullok
#set_secrpc
account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so
password required /lib/security/pam_unix.so #strict=false
session required /lib/security/pam_unix.so debug # trace or
none
and I suspect that the session somehow fails.
But I have no clue where the user information is kept in PAM.
It is on SuSE 6.4
