I am trying to set up PAM authentication with postgres 7.3.1. This is
under Mandrake Linux 8.2 for i586. I've searched the archives and
haven't yet found a solution.
Here is the pg_hba.conf file:
--------------------------------
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK
METHOD
local all all
trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255
trust
host all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 pam
postgresql
--------------------------------
pg_config --configure shows this:
--------------------------------
'--prefix=/usr/local/pgsql' '--with-perl' '--with-pam'
'--with-openssl=/opt/openssl' '--without-readline'
'--with-libraries=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib'
--------------------------------
And here is the error I am getting:
----------------------------------
2003-01-13 09:50:37 LOG: connection received:
host=hc652a8a3.dhcp.vt.edu[198.82.168.163] port=33104
2003-01-13 09:50:37 LOG: parse_hba: invalid syntax in pg_hba.conf file
at line 92, token "pam"
2003-01-13 09:50:37 FATAL: Missing or erroneous pg_hba.conf file, see
postmaster log for details
----------------------------------
It looks like the server isn't recognizing the 'pam' keyword in
pg_hba.conf, but I can't figure out why this is happening.
