[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#443322: login: immediate 'Login incorrect' after unknown user name

[Dwight Davis]

Oops!, these lines are indeed different in my config,
but they make no difference.

The line that is causing this behavior is:

auth       requisite  pam_securetty.so

According to the man page this module should have no
affect if the username is not recognized. The default
for the "requisite" keyword is to die.

Changing the keyword "requisite" to "required", as the
man page recommends, causes the normal behavior of
login.
