Description Amadeusz Żołnowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-29 09:45:49 UTC 
I get the following failure logged by syslog every minute:

Jul 29 11:27:00 [fcron] pam_loginuid(fcron:session): set_loginuid failed_

The context is following:

Jul 29 11:43:00 [fcron] pam_unix(fcron:session): session opened for user aidecoe by (uid=0)
Jul 29 11:43:00 [fcron] pam_loginuid(fcron:session): set_loginuid failed_
Jul 29 11:43:00 [fcron] pam_unix(fcron:session): session opened for user aidecoe by (uid=0)
Jul 29 11:43:02 [fcron] pam_unix(fcron:session): session closed for user aidecoe
                - Last output repeated twice -
Jul 29 11:44:00 [fcron] pam_loginuid(fcron:session): set_loginuid failed_
Jul 29 11:44:00 [fcron] pam_unix(fcron:session): session opened for user aidecoe by (uid=0)
Jul 29 11:44:00 [fcron] pam_loginuid(fcron:session): set_loginuid failed_
Jul 29 11:44:00 [fcron] pam_unix(fcron:session): session opened for user aidecoe by (uid=0)
Jul 29 11:44:02 [fcron] pam_unix(fcron:session): session closed for user aidecoe

Reproducible: Always

Do you have the audit feature enabled in the kernel? If not, enable it.
Comment 2 Amadeusz Żołnowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-29 16:13:20 UTC 
Yes, I have it enabled. It is required for some time by other packages.

$ zgrep AUDIT /proc/config.gz 
CONFIG_AUDIT_ARCH=y
CONFIG_AUDIT=y
CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y
CONFIG_AUDIT_WATCH=y
CONFIG_AUDIT_TREE=y
CONFIG_AUDIT_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_AUDIT=m

Ah! loginuid_immutable is the problem. Try disabling that one and let me know.

Error no longer appears, but shouldn't fcron respect this setting?
Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-29 20:26:59 UTC 
The problem is that it probably started with a different loginuid.
