can anyone provide a pam config file for authentication of host users in a

This should really enter the manual btw, as it is pretty much a standard
config...
Just double-checked this on Debian Lenny, and it worked out of the box without setting VRDP_AUTH_PAM_SERVICE, i.e. using the PAM config for "login". So if you have trouble creating a PAM config try the one for "login" as a starting point.

Sorry, I am on openSuSE 11.1 host testing with rdesktop from SuSE 10.3. Can you at least provide some hints how you start rdesktop and what Lennys'
login PAM config looks like ... ?

See attached files. They use @include a lot...

Keep in mind that that SuSE 10.3 is quite a bit older than Debian Lenny, so maybe a few subtleties in glibc or pam might have changed, making things easier now.

Also: sure that you have the necessary libraries? VBoxVRDP.so (the auth plugin which uses PAM) loads libpam.so.0 - if you don't have this it cannot ever work. Maybe a symlink is missing...
