Description Nicolas Williams 2002-03-27 09:35:17 AEDT 
pam_setcred() failures should not be treated as fatal; at least
there should be an option so pam_setcred() failures are not
treated as fatal().

But users should be warned loudly when pam_setcred(PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED)
fails and sshd proceeds.

Cheers,

Nico

why should pam_setcred() failures not be treated as fatal?

I don't see how failure to pam_setcred() ought be fatal. It can be crippling to
the actual user experience, but, fatal? At least make it an option.

what error return are you seeing?
what are the pam_setcred() flags?
why does it occur?
why should it not be fatal?
