Subject: Re: No Conv Element in PAMH? - msg#00024
List: linux.pam
Hello Alainna,
The two errors are not connected in anyway. The file pam_stack.so is not
provided with Linux-PAM package and is a OS specific one. So it has to be
copied after loading Linux-PAM package.
Secondly, the error is generated by the linux-pam library when it tries to
retrieve the username. There can be many reasons for this. The following
options can be tried -
1. Upgrade your Linux-PAM package.
2. Reinstall login application(comes as a part of util-linux package).
3. If neither of the above two works, try to debug the 'login' application
(/bin/login).
Feel free to contact me any other information.
Thanks,
Sharad Chandra

No Conv Element in PAMH?
Good evening,
I was modifying PAM on an server running RH6.2 libs with RH9.0 kernel, and I
rebooted the system. When it came back up I was unable to log into the
console. I can, however, get an SSH session. When I did this, I managed to
catch the lines:
[dlerror]: /lib/security/pam_stack.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_stack.so
"no conv element in pamh" in /var/log/messages.
The version of pam is 0.72-x.
It said it couldn't find pam_stack.so in /lib/security, so I went ahead and
SCP'ed it over from another box with the same OS/PAM combo that works (I
still haven't a clue how it disappeared in the first place; I was editing
files in /etc/pam.d). It no longer gives the error that it can't find/open
the file, but I still get the error about 'no conv element'.
I only saw one hit (in English) for this in Google groups, but there was no
reply as to how to repair this.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks!

No Conv Element in PAMH?
Good evening,
I was modifying PAM on an server running RH6.2 libs with RH9.0 kernel, and I
rebooted the system. When it came back up I was unable to log into the
console. I can, however, get an SSH session. When I did this, I managed to
catch the lines:
[dlerror]: /lib/security/pam_stack.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_stack.so
"no conv element in pamh" in /var/log/messages.
The version of pam is 0.72-x.
It said it couldn't find pam_stack.so in /lib/security, so I went ahead and
SCP'ed it over from another box with the same OS/PAM combo that works (I
still haven't a clue how it disappeared in the first place; I was editing
files in /etc/pam.d). It no longer gives the error that it can't find/open
the file, but I still get the error about 'no conv element'.
I only saw one hit (in English) for this in Google groups, but there was no
reply as to how to repair this.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks!
