I *thought* from the strace output it was successfully opening /etc/shadow, although I guess not. (I guess I assumed pam_unix.so would call unix_chkpwd if it wasn't root.) > Or use the pwcheck method in SASL, which also requires another > daemon. I've never tried that, though. grep'ing through the txts with my pam distribution, I don't see any docs on configuring unix_chkpwd, how the heck to use it? Wil -- W.
