Hi All, I have downloaded Linux-PAM-0.78 and cross-compiled pam_unix module to be used on ppc machine. My application authentication fails and logging show the comparision between encrypted hash and hash stored in passwd doesnt match. [support.c:_unix_verify_password(743)] comparing state of pp[UH6ewlvf/hvbg] and salt[UHN51fNs.aiae] I wrote a small program which uses pam_unix and found the program was able to authenticate properly with the same user and passwd. Basically the crypt function taking the same password and salt is generating different hashes in both the cases(for my Application and small program). Can anyone please let me know why this could be happening. I searched through man page of crypt and found nothing relveant to this. Please let me know if i missed something Thanks and Best Regards, Pavan _______________________________________________ Pam-list mailing list Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
