Hi, pam_usb requires the vendor (as well as the model) to be provided in order to consider the device valid. As the user root is linked to a device which is consider invalid, pam_usb thinks no device is configured for that user. I didn't think there were devices without vendor, I'll commit a fix into the SVN soon.

Hi, I think there might be a bug in pam_usb, I have flash drive, which has no vendor information provided. After adding such device, and a user root assigned to it, the pam_usb says there is "No device configured for user "root"." I tried providing empty vendor in pamusb.conf but it doesn't help. Any suggestions ?

I keep getting an error message: '* No devices configured for user "user".' This is with version 0.4.2 on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy. Everything seems to be going find until I go to use the authentication, and it says there are no devices configured every time.

The following is the latest example of my situation:

user@machine:~$ sudo pamusb-conf --add-user user

No device configured for user "user".[sudo] password for user:Which device would you like to use for authentication ?0) CruzerMicro1) SonyMicroVault

User : userDevice : SonyMicroVault

Save to /etc/pamusb.conf ?[Y/n] yDone.user@machine:~$ pamusb-check user

No device configured for user "user".

Hi, you must disable messages for su.To do so, set the su service to quiet:

Otherwise, you could use 0.4.3 along with gksudo which works well without disabling output messages.

Jan: I've managed to find out why pam_usb doesn't work with su, it was a DBUS bug. I've sent them a patch and commited a workaround to the SVN.

Hi,

New fixes commited to the SVN.

bourlas: You should try again. However, by seeing the output of the first flash drive (usbdevice.serial) i assume the device has no serial number, which is required to work with pamusb. Perhaps the second flash drive will work just fine.

Jan: I'm aware of that problem, I'll try to find why. Autologin is not yet supported, I'm currently trying to fix as much bugs as possible before adding new features.

another question. Is it possible that kdm can auto-login you, if the usb stick is connected?

Hey,

first of all, you did a great job. pamusb works very fine, but there is one proplem: When i'm in kde and in the Konsolo from kde and make a "su" i get the following error message:

pam_usb v0.4.0
Authentication request for user "root" (su)
Cannot connect to system bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Access denied.Password:

everything else runs good. login to kdm, login in the first terminal etc.. all without typing in my pw. except su... :( can you help me?

Thank you scox for the fast answer, I tried the svn version, and still the same.

I tried also the --verbose option on pamusb-conf and the output is the following

bourlas@torrentakos:~/pam_usb$ pamusb-conf --verbose --add-device=CBUSBInspecting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usbdeviceea02168noserial Invalid: 'usb_device.serial'Inspecting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usbdevice00000000_021 Invalid: Device does not contain any volumeInspecting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usbdevice00000000_020 Invalid: Device does not contain any volumeNo devices detected.

using my other flash memory the only difference is the invalid usb_device.vendor

Hi,

I've commited a fix into the SVN, please let me know if it solves the problem.

Hi, thanks for the support :)

There seems to be many users experiencing the same problem, so I'm trying to gather as many hal-device outputs as possible (please send me yours too). Perhaps, it might be related to the kernel configuration as the USB tokens seems to be recognized as SCSI devices rather than USB disk drives. The kernel configuration of your system could be useful as well.

Hi Scox,First of all thanks for the project! :)I've installed latest released version not svn one on a Ubuntu 7.04 distro and every time I try to execute a pamusb-conf --add-device I receive a "No devices detected." message. I've tried a lot of usb and others sdx objects but same result. It seems to be an HAL problem but I really don't know how to solve it. Thanks in advance.

Could you mail me the output of hal-device ?

I also tried with 3.1 and looked into the log file:[pam.c:138] Searching the utmp entry for tty pts/0...[pam.c:152] Authentication request from pts/0 (:0.0)[device.c:74] Directory /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/ not found[pam.c:198] Device not valid.

Thing is, that my device is /proc/scsi/usb-storage/4

Hi scox,

First of all, thank you for this great tool.

Second: I am having trouble using my usb stick.I installed pam_usb with gentoo emerge. But if I do pamusb-conf --add-device MyDevice then I get only my external hdd. But not my usb stick.I read about the bug here, I unmerged pam_usb and installed it from svn.Same problem.

It would be great if you can solve this.

Greetings.
