google_authenticator breaks in ubuntu 18.04












0















Running Ubuntu 18.04 server, it seems pam will change the ownership of ~/.google_authenticator on login to root:USER



This means next time when I try to login, I will be rejected. Changing the ownership of ~/.google_authenticator to USER:USER enables login again. Logging in with public key does not change the ownership.



Anyone else who have noticed this behavior? Or knows what/why this is happening?
