Of course. If you read INSTALL (specifically the description of the
authdaemon module), you'll find out why.
It says to start authdaemond at startup, and that it contains everything
other than LDAP and MySQL authentication so that it's easy to make
packages which don't include heavy weight authentication.
I can't see where it gives a reason for the above failing.
When authdaemon is installed it replaces all other authentication modules,
and the only one that's available is authdaemon. That's why â-m authpamâ
does not work, because authpam is not installed, authdaemon is.
