security problem, please help
Suddenly I cant login into my redhat 9.0.I tried login in the console, but I cant even type the password. It gave error after I typed root and pressed enter key.
But I was lucky because I left 2 root sessions open in the console.
I checked /var/log/secure and found this :
Sep 29 01:17:45 redhat9 login: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so)
Sep 29 01:17:45 redhat9 login: PAM [dlerror: liBc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
Sep 29 01:17:45 redhat9 login: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
This system was running ok without any problem at all, uptime 58 days.
Anyone know anything about why I got this problem?
I fixed this by copying /lib/libc.so.6 into /lib/liBc.so.6
Honestly, I dont know how to properly fix or investigate the problem. Why in the log said liBc.so.6 ... with capital B
My instinct said that I need to just duplicate libc.so.6 ... and it works.
Maybe known hack ?
I cant search in google for liBc.so.6 ... it will gave you same result with libc.so.6
