Hello Frank! To update this,
1. Yes I have diligently followed the documentation 2. Yes user "bareos" has been added as a local user on my machine. 3. I have done this suggestion, I also researched more on implementing pam. pam_unix.so needs to read /etc/shadow that is why root privilege is needed for the program. 4. Thanks for this tip This could be marked as solved. To give other readers the flow on how this was solved: After reading the documentation, please also modify the directors.ini file under /etc/bareos-webui, make sure to compliment the credentials given to the pam-console.conf Next, bear in mind that pam_unix.so module needs to read /etc/shadow inorder to work. You will need to give bareos user root privileges. What I did was to add bareos to the root group. Next, examining /etc/shadow on Centos 7.6, it has file permission of ---------- meaning only root user can access it. Here I gave it a file permission of 440, which also includes the root group. After this, pam module now works NOTE: please use a different user other than "bareos" for pam-user as this is already being used by bareos program. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
