pam'rs- i had quite a difficult time getting pam authentication to work with postgresql, as have a good deal many other people. turns out, since postgresql runs as a non-privleged used, that pam was failing since the process using it (postgresql) didn't have read permissions for /etc/shadow. now, i read the faq and this is mentioned, but i would like to confirm that the only two approaches to this sort of problem are setuid type fixes and normal file permission type fixes? can someone confirm this definitively? thanks in advance for any information. regards. -a -- ==================================== | Ara Howard | NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory | Information and Technology Services | Data Systems Group | R/FST 325 Broadway | Boulder, CO 80305-3328 | Email: ara.t.howard@xxxxxxxxxxxx | Phone: 303-497-7238 | Fax: 303-497-7259 ==================================== _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
