authentication fails with linuxbrew python3 #13

Closed sidebo closed 6 years ago

I cannot authenticate myself ([PAM Error 7] Authentication failure upon python3 -m pamela -a `whoami`). Possibly this has to do with the way I installed python3. I'm on an slc6 machine and used linuxbrew for the install, I have /home/linuxbrew/ (python3 is here) and /home/usr1 /home/usr2 etc. Maybe I'm missing something else. Can you help?

It could be a PAM permission issue. The first thing to test might be to try running as root, and see if you can check your password as root.

Thank you, that was indeed the issue!
