[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#190215: Bug probably no more relevant

retitle 190215 [TO CLOSE 20050524] login: su should log successful root logins with LOG_NOTICE, like login does
thanks

Reinhard,

In Debian bug #190215, you mention:

=======================================
login logs a message to syslog (with severity LOG_NOTICE) when a
successful root login occures.
This is a very good feature, and I think su should do the same.
=======================================

As su and login now use PAM, su to root triggers the following entry
in logs (auth.log actually):


May 24 18:54:41 mykerinos su[21364]: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=7426 euid=0 tty=pts/10 ruser=bubulle rhost=  user=root
May 24 18:54:43 mykerinos su[21364]: pam_authenticate: Authenticationfailure
May 24 18:54:43 mykerinos su[21364]: - pts/10 bubulle:root
May 24 18:54:47 mykerinos su[21365]: + pts/10 bubulle:root
May 24 18:54:47 mykerinos su[21365]: (pam_unix) session opened for user root by (uid=7426)

The first is an unsuccessful attempt, the latter a successful attempt.

I think this is enough information and hence I propose closing this
bug report.
