Gentoo defaults to ending the PAM configuration with an optional pam_permit. |

This meant that failing both pam_unix and pam_sss on CoreOS systems would |
11 |
surprisingly result in authentication succeeding, and access being granted. |

The operator user was not used by CoreOS, but existed because it exists in |
14 |
the Gentoo Portage system from which CoreOS is derived. |

Full read [1]. It kinda shows that CoreOS is derived from Gentoo |
18 |
and not ChromeOS; at least when time to blame a security lapse elsewhere.... |
