Hi all,
I have an application (AUC)running on our RH7.2 server, formerly on RH6.
Ever since we moved to RH7.2 I have been getting a lot of the following
errors in the messages log

Nov 18 08:48:14 vortex PAM_pwdb[5945]: get passwd; pwdb: request not
recognized

these seem to be matched in the 'secure' log with

Nov 18 08:48:14 vortex auc.cgi: pam_smb: Local UNIX username/password check
incorrect.
Nov 18 08:48:14 vortex auc.cgi: pam_smb: Configuration Data, Primary
Voyager, Backup Revelation, Domain OLMC_CD.
Nov 18 08:48:14 vortex auc.cgi: pam_smb: Correct NT username/password pair


The number of them would indicate that one is generated for every login.
However the logins still work fine. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this
so any clues appreciated.

Actually reading this as I write it it seems obvious that the problem is
with the UNIX usernames and passwords - each NT user has a corresponding
Linux user but no password in Linux, so maybe I need to tell PAM not to
check the Linux first?

This is the relevant AUC file from pam.d, which is just copied from the AUC
install files:

auth       required     /lib/security/pam_smb_auth.so debug
auth       sufficient   /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so not_set_pass nullok
session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
