Package: postgresql-8.1
Version: 8.1.8-1

I've configured a server as a Samba primary domain controller, using
ldap as backend. Pure etch.

I've setup nss and pam using the debian wiki:

        http://wiki.debian.org/NSSLDAPSetup

shortly: pam_unix module in debian are nss-enabled, so normally there's
no need to setup PAM, but only nss.

But for postgres i was forced to wrote down a /etc/pam.d/postgresql
with inside:

        auth    required        pam_ldap.so 
        account required        pam_ldap.so

particulary the 'account' stanza are required, and this is not needed
for evey other services (ssh, dovecod, ...) on the same server.

Seems that postgres use pam in a rather different way from other
services, i don't know if this descend of having postgres not running
as root, and i don't know if this is curable.

But i think at least a row in README.Debian can be added.


Thanks.
