Good day, It's not necessesary a bug but is abig problem when you install Red Hat 6.2 and one user different to root has guid root, even worse if you don't know it. User: operator Home : /root (oops! same home than root, same bash history!) Main group: root (May be you find usefully operator user but may be you must change its home, also you must think about that in a dictionary attack there are two roots to find) If you find some PAM message with a remote change password to operator becarefull, may you must look for in root history not-normal activity Have a nice IT day Diego GarcĂa System administrator Pontificia Universidad Javeriana t.
