Did you ever get an answer to this? I've been working out of Mann and Mitchell (_Linux_System_Security_) and on page 109 it says the logs go to the syslog auth facility. There are a lot of the modules that have a "debug" option too: pam_rhsots_auth,pam_lastlog,pam_wheel,pam_cracklib... actually, on page 85 it says that most the modules have this as an option. There's a lot more to it, of course. I'm not unconditionally enamoured by the presentation in LSS, but it nevertheless is better than anything I've got or have been presently able to find. I'm still rather stuck on my *_dict.* problem, and I'm getting the impression that this debian-users group is not very PAM savvy, as I've gotten no feedback on the problem other than what I've elicited directly from one friend. If you know anyone else who is PAMMY in regards to Debian, that is what I really really need. For some reason I'm getting the *_dict.* files on one machine, and not on the other. > > It seems to me that this would be a FAQ question, but I haven't been > able to find on the web or on groups.google.com. > > Thanks in advance! > -Luke > > -- > Luke Scharf, Jack of Several Trades > http://www.ccm.ece.vt.edu/~lscharf > -- > Luke Scharf, Jack of Several Trades > http://www.ccm.ece.vt.edu/~lscharf > > _______________________________________________ > > Pam-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list -- http://www.eskimo.com/~xeno xeno@eskimo.com Physically I'm at: 5101 N. 45th St., Tacoma, WA, 98407-3717, U.S.A.
