What's root@pam?

[whateveruser]

Can't find much about this error on Google



Also weird, unless it's not something that proxmox does by itself, at the times I did not login at all on the server

 

[Impact]

root is the user and pam is the realm. This is an automated task triggered by the pve-daily-update timer which calls pveupdate.
As for the real problem, double click the task and show what it says. I'd also check apt update manually.

Here is a bit more info : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_PAM

In PVE context, PAM is the native OS user/authentication, i.e. one-to-one user relationship between logging into PVE and OS.
