Hi,

well, I just rebooted the production server and all is well, Window Server came up nicely and the root login is enabled again.

thanks,
Dimi.

I’ve just set up a test system (more or less the same as our production server, also 10.3.8 server) and tried the following :

– killed the Security Server
– tried to log in with ssh : same behaviour : could not login
– tried to su or sudo : same behaviour : could not login
– logged out the window server : could not get the login window back

so I rebooted the test server to see if everything would be ok again and it was. I’ll be rebooting our production server two days from now (wich is a non production day) and hope that it’ll have the same outcome.

It make sense if you look at the /etc/pam.d information :

goll:~ admin$ cat /etc/pam.d/su
# su: auth account session
auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
auth required pam_wheel.so use_uid group=admin group=wheel
auth sufficient pam_securityserver.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_permit.so
password required pam_netinfo.so
session required pam_permit.so

hope this info is of any help.

Dimi.
