 Posted: Sun Feb 16, 2020 10:50 pm Post subject: Issues with cron regarding PAM and authentication |
 |
|
I am having issues with cron, where I get this error if I try to edit my crontab...
| Code: |
crontab -e
You (kaizushi) are not allowed to access to (crontab) because of pam configuration.
|
The auth.log shows this error:
| Code: |
Feb 16 17:48:58 stack unix_chkpwd[4353]: could not obtain user info (kaizushi)
|
I have tried turning off SELinux, and the permissions for /var/spool/crontabs seems fine, for some reason I get that auth error. I can log in fine via SSH, so I am not sure why it is doing this.
pwck -r
| Code: |
# pwck -r
pwck: no changes
|
getent passwd kaizushi
| Code: |
kaizushi:x:1000:1000::/home/kaizushi:/bin/bash
|
my user in shadow with password omitted:
| Code: |
kaizushi:omitted:18308:0:99999:7:::
|
The issue was filecaps and I just needed to reinstall 'pam' to fix things. I loaded a backup which did not have the correct extended attributes.

I had the same problem and your post helped me. Re-emerging pam did the trick.
Thanks |
