Hi Sudhanshu
What is your problem exactly?
/usr/sbin/authconfig
/usr/bin/authconfig
files are exacutable (binary) files. So you cannot
edit them. However you can check /var/log/messages
file to understand what is the problem.
My test system's system-auth file looks like
following:
*********
[root at xyz ~]# more /etc/pam.d/system-auth
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time
authconfig is run.
auth required
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so
auth sufficient
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth required
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
account required
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
account sufficient
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 quiet
account required
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_permit.so
password requisite
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3
password sufficient
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5
shadow
password required
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
session required
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so
session required
/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
******
Permission of file looks like
******
[root at xyz ~]# ls -al /etc/pam.d/system-auth
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 820 Sep 8 12:06
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
*****
As I said above you should check /var/log/messages
file to be sure what is the problem?
