pam_mount(spawn.c:128): error setting uid to 0

[Hadmut Danisch]

Binary package hint: libpam-mount

Hi,

I was just trying to figure out why /etc/cron.daily/lighttpd is sending me an error message every day. It's the su command together with pam_mount:

# su -s /bin/sh -c "date" www-data

pam_mount(spawn.c:128): error setting uid to 0

regards

Still present as of Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)/Linux Mint 13 (maya). Probably bug #117736 applies.
