I have installed Kerberos and PAMS and AFS on my Debian machine running on an Itanium 2. I have done the following to configure it 1. install hesiod and pam packages $ apt-get install hesiod autofs-hesiod libpam-krb5 libpam-openafs-session 2. change the pam_unix.so line in /etc/pam.d/common-auth to look like: auth sufficient pam_unix.so 3. add the following line to /etc/pam.d/common-auth: auth required pam_krb5.so try_first_pass 4. add the following 2 lines to /etc/pam.d/common-session: session optional pam_krb5.so session optional pam_openafs_session.so 5. modify the passwd and group lines in /etc/nsswitch.conf to look like: passwd: <leave whatever is there> hesiod group: <leave whatever is there> hesiod 6. add the following line to /etc/nsswitch.conf: automount: hesiod For some reason I can still no longer log in with a valid username and password. Is there any way to debug this or help figure out if pams is even operating correctly? I am new to Pams, so please forgive the noobieness of this question. -Adam -- Adam Parrish Asst.
