Dear all,

I have a trouble with the pam authentification for PostgreSQL.

I have add in the pg_hba.conf the good line ... and I have create 
a /etc/pam.d/postresql file which contains :

auth � � � �required � �pam_unix.so nullok_secure
account � � required � �pam_unix.so

Now like this ... impossible for me to connect to the dabase ... I have 
message like this :
Jul �6 13:26:44 zoot arr [local] authentication: (pam_unix) auth could not 
identify password for [herve]
Jul �6 13:26:47 zoot arr [local] authentication: (pam_unix) authentication 
failure; logname= uid=31 euid=31 tty= ruser= rhost= �user=herve

The only solution I have found to make it running is to put the postgres user 
in the shadow group ... to be able to read the /etc/shadow file ...

I think this is not normal ... so please if you have any idea to solve my 
trouble ... I'll be very pleased ...

I'm using linux, on Debian Woody ... but using my own compilation of 
PostgreSQL v7.4.3.

Regards,

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
