As has often been mentioned, Solaris (at least 7 and 8) gives a debug1 message on logout: Cannot delete credentials. This occurs when in auth-pam.c, function do_pam_cleanup_proc(), pam_setcred(__pamh, PAM_DELETE_CRED) is called under UID 0. I suggested a patch for this on Nov 22, 2001, based on openssh 2.9.9p2 through 3.0.1p1. [The attempt in my patch to reset to UID 0 by "if (!flag) setuid(0);" does not actually work but seems not to be required.] Now in 3.4p1 with privilege separation, I found thi...

In do_pam_cleanup_proc(), there are 3 calls to PAM: 1) pam_close_session() - do lastlog stuff 2) pam_setcred(PAM_DELETE_CRED) - delete credentials 3) pam_end() - close PAM It appears that pam_setcred() always fails with the error PAM_PERM_DENIED. This is due to a check done pam_unix.so to not allow a caller with euid 0 to even try to delete their SECURE_RPC credentials. When sshd calls pam_setcred() to delete the cr...

The 2 errors: pam_setcred: error Permission denied Cannot delete credentials[7]: Permission denied Looks to be a major bug in the PAM module for Solaris-2.8/2.7/2.6. Has anyone from the list (developers of OpenSSH, endusers, hackers, etc.) came up w/ a solution? Even a temporary one? When authenticating yourself on the same system that worked, but when authenticating to another system failed. I

...reate a user-owned ccache *before* the account >management part of PAM has been called and suceeded?? Because you are supposed to call pam functions in this order: pam_start(pamh,...); pam_authenticate(pamh, ...); pam_acct_mgmt(pamh, pam_setcred(pamh, PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED) ... pam_setcred(pamh, PAM_DELETE_CRED); pam_end(pamh); This is quite clear from the Solaris man page for pam_setcred(3pam) " The pam_setcred() function is used to establish, modify, or delete user credentials. It is typically called after the user has been authenticated and after a session has been o...

....23. Here is the message: Jun 15 13:21:28 a300sua0 sshd[10798]: pam_setcred: error Permission denied See http://www.docs.hp.com/en/T1471-90033/ch01s06.html We track the issue to sshpam_cleanup() which resets the conversation function pointer to sshpam_null_conv() before calling pam_setcred with PAM_DELETE_CRED. sshpam_null_conv() always just returns PAM_CONV_ERR. It seems HPUX PAM module then decided to call the conversation function (not sure why), and gets this error. Is it possible/advisable to (maybe use #ifdef) move the pam_set_item call to after the pam_setcred block? Thanks Leo Liou Not a shr...
