What is odd is that I am running Linux (Mandrake 8.1) but configure never creates the authpam module:
If I just run ./configure, running authinfo shows: AUTHDAEMONMODULELIST="authcustom authcram authpgsql authuserdb authshadow authpwd Then I thought if I disable authpwd and authshadow that that configure would enable authpam: /configure --without-authshadow --without-authpwd but then authinfo gives AUTHDAEMONMODULELIST="authcustom authcram authpgsql authuserdb Given this is Linux, I thought configure would enable authpam --- but there doesn't seem to be any way that I can enable authpam, since there is only a way to explicity disable authentication modules, not to enable them. Any ideas how to enable authpam on a Linux system ? - Charlie On Thursday 12 September 2002 01:46 pm, you wrote: > Charlie Toohey writes: > > Since I'm not running a POP server or anything, I figured that using > > authpwd would be the simplest thing. > > If you look in /etc/passwd, do you actually see your encrypted password > there? > > > Or maybe I am not entering the username correctly ?
