Description

Wow! This I did not expect. Here is the screen output:

rml@rmlinux: ~/build/Build-System/Sources > su Password: Segmentation fault rml@rmlinux: ~/build/Build-System/Sources >

The problem is if you do not enter the correct password. This may be a PAM issue as this system has PAM installed. However, this system is built no differently than any of the other LFS systems I've built, almost all of which have PAM.

Using GCC4 branch and latest Shadow/Pam packages.

BTW - entering the right password works with no issues. Took me a week to type the wrong password once. :-)

I don't get that error with GCC4 so it's probably a problem with PAM (I don't have PAM).

It might also help to specify that I have shadow 4.0.10.

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

It has been determined that this should now be considered a BLFS bug as the problem is only manifested if you have Linux-PAM installed. Closing the bug as invalid.
