If I run weston-launch as root, I have the same error although weston-launch is
setuid root. So I changed the owner of linux-pam executables:
chown root /sbin/{pam*,unix*,mkhomedir_helper}
Because I would like to run weston-launch as non-root, I also did:
chmod +s /sbin/{pam*,unix*,mkhomedir_helper}
Running weston-launch either as root or non-root still fails with the error
message I already reported.
Did I miss something?
