Hi Joe, thanks for your reply. The box has been installed yesterday, with a clean fresh RH9 :) There is no other pam_mysql around except the one in /lib/security i just compiled before from pam_mysql-0.5.0 i got from sf.net I did some more tests: pam_mysql.c assumes that the mysqlserver is on localhost, because in mysql_real_connect() the port-number is hardcoded to 0. I already tried to change that to 3306, for example. But it still doesn't work. The problem is that i really have compiled with: #define DEBUG but i don't see any messages in syslog. To which syslog facility would it be logged? I assume it should either go to messages or secure logfile. Nothing in both of them. Did you ever connect to a remote mysqlserver with pam_mysql? I can connect to local mysqlserver, but every attempt to connect to a remote mysqlserver fails - without any messages in syslog. Just to be sure: yes, the remote mysqlserver is open for my client machine, i can use the mysql client to connect to it.
