freebsd stable - Jan 2010 - in openpam_dispatch(): pam_nologin.so: no pam_sm_authenticate() / pam_sm_setcred()

Hi,

Since moving from 6.4 to 8.0 I see the following in /var/log/messages:

Jan  8 09:39:04 mb-aw1n-bsd : in openpam_dispatch(): pam_nologin.so: no 
pam_sm_authenticate()
Jan  8 09:39:04 mb-aw1n-bsd : in openpam_dispatch(): pam_nologin.so: no 
pam_sm_setcred()

It seems to be triggered by x11/wdm port.

$ grep wdm /etc/ttys
ttyv8   "/usr/local/bin/wdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure

However I'm not sure who is to blame -- FreeBSD or WDM .. ?

Regards,

Martin

Hi,

I've just read that pam_nologin(8) changed in FreeBSD 7.0 and based on 
that I've prepared a patch that should solve the issue described above:
