Last week, I rebooted my #Debian #RPi4 server, and when it came back up, I could not longer log in, not via ssh, not with the console. The problem turned out to be that some of the files for PAM were corrupted.

Should I wipe the server and reinstall, or just fix the PAM files?

Wipe it.

@mpjgregoire Have you done a memory test?

Or a corrupt SD card, assuming you don’t do my insanity of booting it to iSCSI!

@EdwinG @trevdev Yes, I'm running it on a micro-SD card. That could be the problem, sure. But I haven't seen anything that fails other than PAM...

@mpjgregoire @EdwinG PAM today, gone tomorrow. I kid I kid. I'd probably wipe it if the system isn't important
