Description Sergio Polini 2004-11-17 10:27:25 UTC

I've installed 2004.3 stage.3 and emerged sync as soon as possible.
When I login/logout i see spurious lines like
login(pam_unix)[7504]: session opened for user sp by (uid=0)
When I login/logout as the first user I see:
login(pam_unix)[4321]: session opened for user sp by (uid=0)
modprobe: Can't locate module audio* which is needed for /dev/audio*
modprobe: Can't locate module midi* which is needed for /dev/midi*
modprobe: Can't locate module midi* which is needed for /dev/midi*
[ several similar lines ]
modprobe: Can't locate module * which is needed for /dev/scsi/*
modprobe: Can't locate module * which is needed for /dev/scsi/*
[ several similar lines ]
modprobe: Can't locate module mdc800* which is needed for /dev/usb/mdc800*
modprobe: Can't locate module ttyUSB* which is needed for /dev/ttyUSB*

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Normal build with 2004.3 stage3
2. emerge sync as soon as possible
3. Create an user 'foo'
4. Login as user 'foo'

Actual Results:  
When I login/logout i see spurious lines like
login(pam_unix)[7504]: session opened for user sp by (uid=0)
When I login/logout as the first user I see:
login(pam_unix)[4321]: session opened for user sp by (uid=0)
modprobe: Can't locate module audio* which is needed for /dev/audio*

Expected Results:  
No "login(pam_unix)" line.
No modprobing 'starred' devices.

Comment 1 Sergio Polini 2004-11-19 09:57:19 UTC

The "verbose login" was there because I had not yet a system logger running.
The "comic mobprobing" has disappeared when I've switched to kernel 2.6.9 (?)

Sorry ;-)
