Hiho, I'm running the package 9.0.7 from enterprisedb and have some problems getting the pam module to work on debian.
pam basically works - i just configured a more secure password policy. the enterprisedb package has pam support included. at least i see with ldd that i knows the pam library. the postgres service is named postgres so i created a file /etc/pam.d/postgres and added the lines auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth i found in another mail thread. I also tried to copy files from other predefined services like sudo or login. the error is always: root:/etc/pam.d# psql -U testuser postgres psql.bin: FATAL: PAM authentication failed for user "testuser" the line in pg_hba.conf is # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD local postgres testuser pam any idea what's wrong here? or does anybody have a good how-to? thanks, Uwe
