11 There is no noexec flag on the partition and /etc/shells is okay as
12 well. But when I try to log in on the terminal the following is written
13 into the error log (with ssh only the last two):
14
15 Jun 19 16:09:15 [login] pam_tally(login:account): option deny=0 allowed in auth phase only
16 Jun 19 16:09:15 [login] pam_tally(login:account): unknown option: no_magic_root
17 Jun 19 16:09:15 [login] pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user jonsnow by LOGIN(uid=0)
18 Jun 19 16:09:15 [login] pam_unix(login:session): session closed for user jonsnow
19
20 The corresponding entries (to the first two lines are)
21 in /etc/pam.d/login.
22
23 auth required pam_tally.so file=/var/log/faillog onerr=succeed no_magic_root
24 account required pam_tally.so deny=0 file=/var/log/faillog onerr=succeed no_magic_root
25
26
27 I tried to remove the options to test if it had some effect but just
28 the first two lines vanished and I still couldn't log in. Additionally,
29 the pam files seem to be the same as on my file server.

31 The permissions of /bin seem to be okay:
32
33 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-06-19 14:53 bin/
