Dear debians,

Is this pam module deprecated? I can't find the package that provides it on debian buster.

And I get a lot of logs:

CRON: PAM adding faulty module: pam_ck_connector.so
SSHD: PAM adding faulty module: pam_ck_connector.so
unable to dlopen(pam_ck_connector.so): /lib/security/pam_ck_connector.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


What is the correct secure approach? Should I just remove the optional session line from PAM config?

I can't even find consolekit for buster.

Maybe this is old news (gentoo reports no activity on this since 2017), but I'm only reading about it now.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it was removed from main archive back in 2018 - [1].

There's no package in buster that provides the PAM module or ConsoleKit
itself, see above.

Strictly speaking, deinstallation of "libpam-ck-connector" (I'm assuming
it was installed on this system at some point) should have done that.
But no package is bug-free, and ConsoleKit was not the best package in
this regard.

So, removing offending lines from the PAM configuration is the best
course of action.

Thanks Reco,

I don't know how you keep up after all these years seen you here on the debian list.

Congrats.

Beco.
