[rhelv6-list] Pam config and ssh access

[Collins, Kevin [BEELINE]]

I don't know the exact reasoning, but RHEL6 seems to have introduced another "include" file. If you compare the entries between RHEL5 and RHEL6 you see:

RHEL6.0:

auth       include      password-auth
account    include      password-auth
password   include      password-auth
session    include      password-auth

RHEL5.5:

auth       include      system-auth
account    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
session    include      system-auth

The content of password-auth is very similar to system-auth... 

Hope that helps!

Kevin

Hello,

We had an issue today what gave us some questions. I hope someone can 
explain this.
We use Samba/Winbind for ssh access to a server. The required account is 
in our Active directory.
Normal in Redhat v5 the file : /etc/pam.d/sshd contains the following line :
---
auth       include      system-auth
---
Now in version 6 we saw that this line was removed. We placed it back again.
But can you please tell me why this line was not present anymore ? Is 
this a security risk ?

Greetings .. Richard Smits
