Sounds to me like you did not copy the /lib/security/ modules. You atleast need to copy pam_unix.so, and make sure you copied /etc/pam.d/login (and removed all lines that do not pertain to pam_unix.so). Or, you can just download the shadow source and recompile without PAM support. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
