I have postgresql (7.3.2) set to use pam. When I use the pam_permit module:
auth required pam_permit.so
auth required pam_warn.so
account required pam_permit.so
it authenticates as expected.
When I use pam_unix:
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
After getting prompted for a password I get "PAM authentication failure for
user". I am using my own login and credentials. I get a single line in
/var/log/messages:
Dec 27 11:55:03 beastie postgresql(pam_unix)[10496]: authentication failure;
logname= uid=26 euid=26 tty= ruser= rhost= user=pms
uid=26 is for the postgresql user, user=pms is the account for which I am
entering the password.
I tried adding debug/audit at the end of the pam_unix.so line but the
message appearing in /var/log/messages remained the same.
I found lots of hits on google relating to postgresql with PAM but so far I
haven't found one with a solution to this.
Any clues?
