I am having problems understanding checkpassword, and it's relationship to
PAM/NIS
Pam can authenticate against NIS.
on qmail.org, there is a checkpassword-0.81 patch for pam
I found the older checkpassword-0.81.tar.gz with someone's help, since the
old pam patch does not work on checkpassword-0.90
I patched it, and replaced my old checkpassword with the older patched one.
I can't get qmail-popup (using checkpassword) authenticating against my nis
server.
I even changed the /etc/pam.d/qmail-pop3(which the patched checkpassword
installs)
to look like /etc/pam.d/ftp, because it works...ftp authenticates against
nis, no problems...
Anyone else had these problems, or can give me some insight, or point me to
some docs(looked at all I could find already)
Thanks in advance...
