I recently moved my gentoo install from an old drive to a newer drive, |
2 |
and then into a new computer. I used rsync to copy the system over to |
3 |
the new drive. That all worked mostly no problem and the everything |
4 |
boots up and runs fine on the new computer. |

|

But, xscreensaver cannot recognize my password. It just says incorrect |
7 |
(or permission denied?) and will not unlock. I had to switch to vt1, |
8 |
log in, and kill xscreensaver. |
9 |
|
10 |
Similar with "crontab -e" (as a regular user). It tells me I do not have |
11 |
permission: |
12 |
|
13 |
"You (chris) are not allowed to access to (crontab) because of pam |
14 |
configuration." |
15 |
|
16 |
In the logs, I get: |
17 |
|
18 |
"unix_chkpwd[4603]: could not obtain user info (chris)" |
19 |
|
20 |
I don't believe anything has changed in the configs. I didn't make any |
21 |
changes, and emerge hasn't recently mentioned anything needing |
22 |
etc-update. |
23 |
|
24 |
/etc/pam.d/xscreensaver is just: |
25 |
|
26 |
auth include system-auth |
27 |
|
28 |
/etc/pam.d/crond has more in it: |
29 |
|
30 |
auth include system-auth |
31 |
account required pam_access.so |
32 |
account include system-auth |
33 |
session required pam_loginuid.so |
34 |
session include system-auth |
35 |
|
36 |
This was all working fine yesterday before the switch. I used crontab -e |
37 |
to turn off a few things in my cron before starting the rsync. |
38 |
|
39 |
Any thoughts or ideas? |

Thanks. |
