enterprisedb package and pam on debian

[Uwe Bartels <uwe.bartels@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hiho,

I'm running the package 9.0.7 from enterprisedb and have some problems getting the pam module to work on debian.

pam basically works - i just configured a more secure password policy.

the enterprisedb package has pam support included. at least i see with ldd that i knows the pam library.

the postgres service is named postgres so i created a file /etc/pam.d/postgres and added the lines
      auth       required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
      account    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
i found in another mail thread.
I also tried to copy files from other predefined services like sudo or login.

the error is always:
root:/etc/pam.d# psql -U testuser postgres
psql.bin: FATAL:  PAM authentication failed for user "testuser"

the line in pg_hba.conf is
# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            CIDR-ADDRESS            METHOD
local   postgres             testuser                                     pam

any idea what's wrong here?
or does anybody have a good how-to?

thanks,
Uwe
