Hi, I just can't get pam authentication to work on redhat, read the whole web and the documentation.
/etc/pam.d (tryed both cause there seems to me no clear indication which is the correct one) auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so debug account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so debug session required /lib/security/pam_unix.so debug #auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so debug #account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so debug #session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so debug [root@milestone authlib]# ./authtest -s imap -m authpam tom password Authentication FAILED! [root@milestone authlib]# ./authtest -s imap tom password Authenticated: module authdaemon Home directory: /home/tom UID/GID: 500/100 AUTHADDR=tom AUTHFULLNAME=tom Why or better how does the authentication work without pam but not with the client? /var/log/messages milestone PAM_pwdb[2199]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> tom for imap service /var/log/secure PAM_unix[2015]: authentication failure; tom(uid=500) -> courier for system-auth service [root@milestone authlib]# ps axw | grep auth 1823 ?

Any pointers? Thanks Tom _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
