Re: how avoid logspam "pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user nobody" ?

that was a good pointer,

i was able to stop the logspam with:

# cat /etc/pam.d/samba
session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so quiet uid = 65534
@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-session-noninteractive
