Hi, If you had added the required configuration file(s) and the files under /lib/security/pam_permit.so with proper permissions..Then the case may be due to missing NSS libs mentioned below.. /lib/libnss_files.so.1 /lib/libnss_files.so.2 Pls add the same and let me know whether the problem still arises rgds ~Pervez Rehman NeST Trivandrum _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
