Ah yes, I thought about that too, but this stuff isn't documented at all it seems, and I need to be able to use blowfish for password encryption, because this has to be used with some other appplcations which are using crypt() and blowfish. From what I understand the saslauthd mysql module allows only to compare the given plaintext user whith another plaintext one stored in a DB. That won't work for me. But I don't understand much of this auxprop/mysql stuff, so I am probably mistaken, and would be most pleased to get explanations about how I can do this. Actually I had patched pam_mysql (on FreeBSD 4.x when pam_mysql was still working, to be able to use blowfish correctly with FreeBSD's crypt(), but my problem is really to get an OpenPAM module to work, I even tried to simply rename the pam_permit one, but have the same problem: openpam_load_module won't find/open it now matter what... Thanks a lot for your suggestions :-) Olivier To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
