The ldb build definitely uses PAM.
Most people ignore the flurry of build messages unless they have some problem; and if there is a problem they pass the whole mess on to me and say "help!"... ;-)
Ha, well, as a matter of fact I am having a problem, and was attempting to find the solution myself before I thought to send an email to the list. It's a good thing I did, since I am apparently barking up the wrong tree.
I am trying to get imap to post an entry into /var/log/lastlog. There is a PAM module that does this: /lib/security/pam_lastlog.so. I have a 'session optional pam_lastlog.so' line in the /etc/pam.d/imap file, but it does nothing. Changing the line to 'session required' makes no difference.
I tried pam_lastlog.so in the common session file (which all PAM config files reference), just to ensure the module was working, and indeed, cron started updating lastlog. Imap did not, however.
I need to get a better understanding of PAM, but does imap use PAM session hooks? That might explain why this isn't working, since we've established that imap uses PAM.
Thanks for your help. :) Paul _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list [email protected] https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw
