Hello all!! I have to authenticate using pam_userdb.so but it cant open (or find or recognize) the dbm file(s). (Debian woody, pam version 0.72). cat /etc/pam.d/pop ... auth sufficient pam_userdb.so db=/etc/mailsystem/users debug grep /var/log/auth.log ... ...pam_userdb[665]: Verify user `tom' with password `xxxx' ...pam_userdb[665]: user_lookup: could not open database `/etc/mailsystem/users' I tried old version of dbm file format (.dir/.pag, version 1.x, made with 'tie()') and also the new one (version 6, made with 'dbmopen()'). For the new one, I tried to use filenames such 'users' and 'users.db'. All times I get the error: user_lookup: could not open database `/etc/mailsystem/users'. Some hint? PS: I asked to debian-user list and other lists without returns =( Also, I know its also a DBM question, but here there are big chances another one to know such problem, and the solution =) Thanx Tom _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
