Authentication failure even tho all is well #76

Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

hi! im using emptty to autologin to my system since my usecase doesnt require me to put in my password each time. however i have some issues currently. my /etc/emptty/conf file has autologin turned on, the DEFAULT_USER defined and the user is in the nopasswdlogin group. However emptty still gives me the authentication failure error. i also have turned on the default xauth option. any help is appreciated.

more info: os: Devuan 4 Chimaera init: runit shell: zsh kernel: 5.10.0-19 emptty version: 0.9.0-2-g9ffa8dd

after adding the line auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin to the file /etc/pam.d/emptty i now the the error "Permission denied", very interesting.

Hello, have you used PAM file for Debian? Because if you've used the standard one, it could be incompatible with Devuan.

im not sure what the difference is? ive got all the common-* files in /etc/pam.d/ and some other stuff but nothing that suggests that devuan uses a different file, do you know more about this?

i should add, running emptty just from command line tells me "Authenticate OK" but then directly afterwards "Permission denied". the 'emptty' file in /etc/pam.d/ is even owned by my user and has executable rights

Standard PAM file works fine with Void and Arch Linux, Debian PAM is probably better choice for Devuan rather than the standard one. I believe the only issue is in this configuration. Please, compare you /etc/pam.d/emptty with mentioned Debian PAM. If the issue persists (even after reboot), please post your /etc/pam.d/emptty file.
