Thanks for the quick response. >> Did you know that you can configure PAM to use /etc/passwd? How do I do this? I didnt find answer to this on HOWTO. I don't know whether the above will help me. My situation is: I have a Apache2 configuration which does htaccess based authentication to give read/write access to a particular directory. Even if the user enters correct userid/passwd combination, the access to a directory is being denied. I believe this is because my system uses PAM for user authentication. To fix this, I suppose I need to compile Apache with mod_auth_pam ( I am not sure whether the current mod_auth_pam will work on Apache2) I don't want to go through all this because I am just building a demo system and I want to keep everything simple. /kmk -----Original Message----- From: SBNelson@thermeon.com [mailto:SBNelson@thermeon.com] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 3:31 PM To: muthu.k.kumar@intel.com Cc: pam-list@redhat.com Subject: RE: How do I disable PAM? 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?
