I have a server with multiple Virtual Domains and has virtual users (not system users) on them. The users should be allowed to change password on their particular domain. I have different passwd/shadow file for each domain like /etc/passwd.domain1.com /etc/shadow.domain1.com /etc/passwd.domain2.com /etc/shadow.domain2.com and so on.... and wants to allow users to ftp to their respective domainname also change passwd. I have done changes in /etc/pam.d/ftp file like auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /etc/shadow auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /etc/shadow.domain1.com account sufficient /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so session sufficient /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so so that with pam_pwdfile.so module I can change the shadow file as needed but the problem here is that it requires the ftp users to be system users and they cannot be virtual users. Can you please tell me how can I authenticate ftp user who is a virtual user on a particular virtual domain on the server. Hope I made my problem clear. Please Help Naim Shaikh
