It doesn't appear your /etc/pam.d/other file is even authenticating using the shadow password functions i.e: auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so also, most modules support the debug option, try using this and checking for errors: auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow debug account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so debug Lastly, pam_unix_auth.so, pam_unix_auth.so, pam_unix_passwd.so, and pam_unix_session.so are now one module: pam_unix.so . > > Matthew M.
