I've been trying to put apache's authentication to work with pam, but I'm getting several problems. As I see a recent non-ended discussion about this in the list, i'd like any help. First, about my apache: I compiled mod_auth_pam staticly, and it seems to be ok. Server: Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) mod_auth_pam/1.0a PHP/4.0.4pl1 Then, the error from the log: [Tue Apr 2 11:45:24 2002] [error] (2)No such file or directory: Tentando autenticar... [Tue Apr 2 11:45:24 2002] [error] (2)No such file or directory: access to / failed for 192.168.1.1, reason: Authentication failure This is what apeers in the log when I try to put my user and password in apache's auth box. Note that "Tentando autenticar" is a modification that a made in the module so that I could be sure apache was calling it. From my /etc/pam.d/httpd #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so This is how the file is now, but i tried several stuff here. I don't think it matters, but my .htaccess file is: AuthPAM_Enabled on AuthType Basic AuthName "secure area" require group rafael require user rafael User and group rafael exists. I think AuthPAM_Enabled, according to documentation is not necessary, but it does not work with or without :-( I compiled apache with the -ldl -l... as asked in pam.sf.net Well, that's it. Any help will be thankful. []s Rafael.
