Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] new testing releases

Heiko,

Again my inexperience with linux kicks in... where would I find logs for pam
errors?  I checked /var/log/ but there was nothing there for pam.

I did some google searches but didn't make any headway.  The exact error
string I get when I enter my password for sudo is "sudo: pam_acct_mgmt: 7".

Something odd.  I just downloaded an ISO (precompiled iso of 1.2.14) and
mounted it with VMware.  When I logged in and tried to add a user I get the
exact same problem as I listed at the start of this article.  Perhaps I'm
performing the useradd incorrectly?  Here is exactly what I type to
duplicate this:
-Log in with root
-useradd kyle
-passwd kyle
Test1234 (twice, password takes and all is well)
-nano /etc/sudoers and add kyle to user privilege spec
-Log out, then log in with kyle/Test1234
-sudo cat /etc/shadow

It's here I enter my password (Test1234) and get the pam_acct_mgmt: 7 error. 
If there is any more research I can do to help figure this out on my own let
me know.  Otherwise can you check it out and see if you can duplicate the
error and/or see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
Kyle
