Description Jon Nelson 2011-11-18 13:46:46 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1

After upgrade to 12.1 my /var/log/messages has stuff like this:

Nov 17 17:19:05 turnip su: (to nobody) root on none
Nov 17 17:19:05 turnip su: pam_systemd(su:session): Failed to create session: Invalid argument
Nov 17 17:19:05 turnip su: (to nobody) root on none
Nov 17 17:19:05 turnip su: pam_systemd(su:session): Failed to create session: Invalid argument
Nov 17 17:19:05 turnip su: (to nobody) root on none
Nov 17 17:19:05 turnip su: pam_systemd(su:session): Failed to create session: Invalid argument


I think these are ultimately from cron.


Reproducible: Always

the 'session' lines from /etc/pam.d/su

session  include        common-session
session  optional       pam_xauth.so

all of common-session:


#%PAM-1.0
#
# This file is autogenerated by pam-config. All changes
# will be overwritten.
#
# Session-related modules common to all services
#
# This file is included from other service-specific PAM config files,
# and should contain a list of modules that define tasks to be performed
# at the start and end of sessions of *any* kind (both interactive and
# non-interactive
#
session required        pam_limits.so   
session required        pam_unix2.so
session optional        pam_umask.so
session optional        pam_systemd.so
session optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so    auto_start only_if=gdm,gdm-password,lxdm,lightdm 





perhaps this is related to the 'optional not being really optional' bug I posted earlier - bug 730851
Comment 2 Frederic Crozat 2011-11-29 12:26:15 UTC 
hmm, if it is really cron, it could be like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727315


please test package from home:fcrozat:systemd / systemd, it contains the fixes from the RH bug.
Comment 3 Jon Nelson 2011-11-30 23:22:26 UTC 
The package does, indeed, resolve the issue.
Thanks!

excellent, I'll make sure it is shipped as part of the next maintenance update (and I'll close this bug as this moment)
