[rhn-users] problem connection in local with account root

[Chandler Wilkerson]

Good point; I also neglected to read carefully what was going on with  
the pam.d files. It looks like GanGan has overridden the default  
include of system-auth and set up sshd on its own with a few  
modifications like pam_mkhomedir and pam_group.

Okay, the actual pam line that seems to allow local auth is:

account     sufficient    pam_localuser.so

There is also a flag in the "password    sufficient    pam_unix.so"  
line, "try_first_pass" that may affect local users.
