set_loginuid failed opening loginuid

Submitted by sandip on Tue, 02/03/2009 - 10:51

If this file doesn't exist:

/proc/<pid of crond>/loginuid

It's because the kernel doesn't have AUDIT enabled. So you get a bunch of errors in "/var/log/secure" with "set_loginuid failed opening loginuid".

Recompile kernel with audit support:

CONFIG_AUDIT=y
CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y

If recompiling of kernel is not an option then:

Comment the below lines from all pam.d files.

session required        pam_loginuid.so

Find files via:

# grep -l pam_loginuid.so /etc/pam.d/*
/etc/pam.d/atd
/etc/pam.d/crond
/etc/pam.d/login
/etc/pam.d/remote
/etc/pam.d/sshd
