libpam-pwdfile for Debian ------------------------- This module allows one to authenticate users using a passwd-like file. Creating this file currently means either copying the relevant entries from /etc/{passwd,shadow}, or using the chpwdfile utility (not yet packaged) from http://eclipse.che.uct.ac.za/chpwdfile/. Below is an example of a working /etc/pam.d/* configuration... specifically, this is copy of my /etc/pam.d/qpopper. Please note that the "account" entry is required. auth required pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /etc/qpopper/qpopper.pwd account required pam_unix_acct.so -- Greg Norris , Tue, 08 Jul 2003 18:57:16 -0500
