Yesterday I installed pam_shield and followed the testing suggested and thought all was well. today I find that I cannot get to my email account, I can login via ssh okay (uses keys) but su and sudo give segmentation faults. I am guessing due to the pam module causing a problem. As I cannot do remote login as root and sudo and su use pam I appear to have locked myself out.
I have not encountered this issue. And I have been using it on 32bit and 64bit machines with RHEL4 and RHEL5. I guess it must be related to a configuration issue somewhere. Not good though.
Was this with the 0.9.2 release, or the 0.9.3 release ?
Please provide this information to the author, he might help you find the cause and fix it in pam_shield.
Thanks for reporting,
