[rhn-satellite-beta-users] PAM_auth issues.

[Clifford Perry]

I have not seen this error message before, and have seen in the past PAM 
authentication and system registration by those users work. This could 
be a server side bug introduced into the RHN 5 Beta Satellite by 
mistake, which is sending bad data to the client.

If you wish, please open a support ticket reporting this, so we can 
track this issue. I have created a bugzilla reporting this and asking to 
make sure to re-test Pam authenticated users with RHN 5 Satellite before 
it is released. This bugzilla is:


Unable to register systems with users who are PAM enabled
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230739


A test to perform, it to remove the pam option from the user and indeed 
verify that registration then works (which it should).

Thanks,
Cliff.
