Hi all, can someone please shed some lite on this one. According to the Pam Administration Guide: service-name The name of the service associated with this entry. Frequently the service name is the conventional name of the given application. For example, `ftpd', `rlogind' and `su', etc. . Then: More flexible than the single configuration file, as of version 0.56, it is possible to configure libpam via the contents of the /etc/pam.d/ directory. In this case the directory is filled with files each of which has a filename equal to a service-name (in lower-case): it is the personal configuration file for the named service. Now, in my distributaion the FTP configuration file is /etc/pam.d/ftp and not ftpd as mentioned above. So the question is how does PAM know which file to use? I'm also thinking about writing my own PAM-enabled application. How do I make sure that the right configuration file will be picked up? Thanks in advance Boris _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
