PAM error message

Dejan_5 — Tue, 06 Dec 2005 11:02:33 GMT

I am running HP-UX 11i on the HP C3750. Every few seconds I am getting following error logged in the syslog.log: "Dec 6 14:24:12 preside1 remshd[2679]: PAM Status - 10, PAM Error Message - Get new authentication token". I installed PHCO_29028, but this did not help. Any ideas what to do next?

Thanks,
Dejan

Hi

Someone is trying to remsh into the system to an expired account.They are possibly trying to update passwd which cannot be done.

Look to another box which does a remsh here regularly

use
last -R|head
lastb -R|head

look for remshd

I stopped all servers that could remsh to the platform, but the error stayed. Any idea what next can be done?
