I am trying to get mod_auth_pam v1.1.1 to run on Apache 1.3.27 and RedHat 8.0 and having a few problems. I got the module to compile and finally got it so it works, sort of. The first problem is that I am trying to grant and deny access to directories using system groups and it doesn't seem to work. It is allowing _any_ authenticated user in. The second problem is that I want to have it use the Apache passwd and group files if the user is not in the system files. This doesn't seem to work at all. The relevant section of my httpd.conf file looks like this: <Directory /home/public/col> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ## turn on auth_pam AuthPAM_Enabled on ## turn on fall through AuthPAM_FallThrough on AuthType Basic AuthName "elmo.ibsys.com" AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/User_File AuthGroupFile /usr/local/apache/Group_File require group col </Directory> My /etc/pam.d/httpd file looks like this: #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth There is a 'col' group in the /etc/group file with one user in it. However I can authenticate and get into the directory as any user in the /etc/passwd file. I also have a user in the Apache user and group files that does not exist as a system user and they can not authenticate at all. Suggestions? -- Timothy W.
