Odd PAM messaged i never seen before

azrail

Hi i just installed gentoo on another one of my servers, and am getting odd pam_unix messages where i dont get them on other servers running gentoo. They appear when i am using the server and login (or fail to login) at the console, and when i exit from the prompt. I get a login(pam_unix)[3052]: session closed for user root. like wise when i fail a login i get:
login(pam_unix)[3060]: check pass; user unknown
login(pam_unix)[3060]: authentication failure; logname = uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/vc/1 ruser= rhost=
login[3060]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM /dev/vc/1 FOR UNKNOWN, Authentication failure
login incorrect
(back to login prompt)

So its not (or it seems not to be) hurting anything, or catching on fire, but its just out of place from what i have seen before. Since i did the same insall on all of my systems it just caught my eye. I am wondering what they are (becides pam logs) and how do i turn them off/or do what the others do and mail them.

Thanks
Dave

did you try to reinstall PAM ?
and pay attention to the etc-update.

Maybe you need emerge one logd,
one of them , sysklogd ,syslog-ng, metalog, msyslog
Or just start them.

I use sysklogd
