On that note, I found a similar problem with pam_cracklib. I had the same syslog error but it was complaining about crypt. Feb 7 14:26:36 hosvrlog passwd: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_cracklib.so) Feb 7 14:26:36 hosvrlog passwd: PAM [dlerror: undefined symbol: crypt] Feb 7 14:26:36 hosvrlog passwd: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so So I changed the Makefile for pam_cracklib to the following: from MODULE_SIMPLE_EXTRALIBS=-lcrack to MODULE_SIMPLE_EXTRALIBS=-lcrack -lcrypt and it seems to work fine now.

It's trivial to add -lutil to link command of pam_lastlog, but for now, with new autoconf stuff, this should be in configure.in (as not all platforms have -lutil and/or logwtmp in it, and some (?) ever does not have logwtmp), so I'm not shure how to correct this Right Way... And this is a more general question than just about this pam_lastlog issue. This was/is on all pam releases since 0.71!.. Does anyone uses pam_lastlog at all? :) Regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Pam-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
