Hi Felix,
Thanks for telling about this.
We have updates AuthBy SYSTEM so it can use getspnam if it is available. From
the reference manual:
UseGetspnam
On some operating systems (notably Solaris) AuthBy SYSTEM needs this parameter
to enable it to get the encrypted password from /etc/shadow or NIS+ You also
need the Shadows module from
ftp://dagobert.eur.nl/pub/homebrew/Shadow-0.01.tar.gz or better. Use this if
you are running on Solaris, or if Radiator reports "Bad Encrypted-Password"
even if you are sure the password and ther shared secret are correct.
# We are on Solaris, and have installed "Shadows"
UseGetspnam
The new version is available from
http://www.open.com.au/radiator/downloads/patches-2.13.1/AuthSYSTEM.pm
Thanks again.
Cheers.
