Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Use of NetGroups breaks local logins: msg#00205

Subject: Use of NetGroups breaks local logins
Hi all,
        New installation of FDS 1.0.2 on FC5. I have gotten netgroup access 
to host logins set up and working by following the steps in this document.

   http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:Netgroups

This required the addition of this new (second) line in the account section
of /etc/pam.d/system-auth for the access.netgroup.conf file to avoid issues 
with crond, which they don't elaborate on.

account  required   pam_unix.so broken_shadow debug
account  required   pam_access.so accessfile=/etc/security/access.netgroup.conf
account  sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet
account  [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore] pam_ldap.so debug
account  required   pam_permit.so

But now I am seeing these failures in /var/log/secure. 

Oct 25 18:01:01 lin2600 crond[22707]: pam_access(crond:account): access denied 
for user `root' from `cron'

I also cannot log in as root.

So firstly, is all the advice in the above document accurate? Is the placement
of this line incorrect (I am just starting to play with PAM) or do I need to 
add entries for root (or ALL) in /etc/security/access.conf (presently all 
commented out as it appears to be the default setup)?

Thanks.
