Okay so I was messing around with joining a domain and forgot to backup my existing conf files from /etc/pam.d/

Of course now i can’t login at all…woops

If someone can please post their defaults for opensuse 11.0/11.1 for the following conf files I would be indebted

common-account
common-auth
common-password
common-session

thanks

I’ll show you how to recover them from the package RPM.

cd /
rpm2cpio /path/to/pam-1.0.2-13.4.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv './etc/pam.d/common-*'

Substitute the path to your DVD for /path/to and i586 for x86_64 if necessary.

thanks heaps - that little command is great to know,
only problem is i can’t login…not through virtual consoles or graphical login. I found someone else who posted the defaults and so I booted off system rescue cd to copy the files back over the old ones and found that they are actually symlinks (that is common-auth) etc etc to the file common-auth-pc. Neway I tried that but it didn’t work either, not sure what else I screwed up but I just reinstalled, have a separate /home partition so it’s no biggy =)

You could also have booted up the rescue system on the SUSE DVD and reinstalled the stock pam package (after mounting the root partition). Something to remember for next time.
