You will need to replace all programs that use PAM with versions that do not use PAM. For example, if your login program uses PAM, then you will need to get a version that does not use PAM. To find out if a particular program uses PAM try: ldd programname for example, notice that libpam is in the list returned by ldd for my login program: $ ldd /bin/login libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x2aac4000) libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x2aaf2000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x2aafa000) libpam_misc.so.0 => /lib/libpam_misc.so.0 (0x2aafe000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x2ab02000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaab000) Did you know that you can configure PAM to use /etc/passwd? > -----Original Message----- > From: Kumar, Muthu K > Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 3:11 PM > To: 'pam-list@redhat.com' > Subject: How do I disable PAM? > > I have a system which has been configured to use PAM. > > I want to disable PAM and use regular /etc/passwd > for authentication. > > How can I go about doing this?
