Hi,

I was debugging an authentication failure and just realized that my /var/log/messages file has this:

authdaemond.mysql: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so) authdaemond.mysql: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so: cannot open share object file: No such file or directory]

This is on a newly built 0.44.2 courier, built via RPM on a SUSE 9.0 box.

I just checked on another SUSE box I have, and it also does not have that library.

I looked under /lib/security and indeed pam_pwdb.so does not exist there... I'm curious how the rpmbuild didn't catch that...

But anyway, is it possible to use pam authentication without that library? I have all of the pam rpms installed (pam, pam-devel, pam-modules) but I guess this particular library isn't in any of them.

BTW, what I'm doing here is trying to have mysql authentication with a pam fallback, for system users. My /etc/courier/authdaemonrc file has this:

authmodulelist="authpam authmysql"

Hopefully that is the correct setting. However, I'm guessing that without the library above the fallback pam authentication won't work?

Any suggestions?

thanks Ricardo
