For my part i solved my problem, as you usually do asking various folk and trying this and that. In short the documentation: http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/ApacheMySQLAuthentication is incorrect re pam-mysql, as it transpires, among other things. I have contacted the author, to little avail. Half way down where it says: auth sufficient pam_mysql.so verbose=1 user=webuser passwd= host=160.45.63.30 db=drupal5 table=drupal5._shared_users usercolumn=drupal5._shared_users.name passwdcolumn=drupal5._shared_users.pass crypt=3 you need to also put: account sufficient pam_mysql.so verbose=1 user=webuser passwd= host=160.45.63.30 db=drupal5 table=drupal5._shared_users usercolumn=drupal5._shared_users.name passwdcolumn=drupal5._shared_users.pass crypt=3 Thats it, and it'll keep me happy, and by extention others I guess if it were better documented, until http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405773 is resolved. How long before mod_authn_dbd does mysql ? Regards Peter Scott Joey Schulze wrote:

Since it has been removed from unstable you'll have to fetch the source code from <http://snapshot.debian.net/libapache-mod-auth-mysql>.I've just seen that you've tried mod-auth-mysql 3.0. Beware, that's a totally different approach. The one mentioned above has been included in Debian once and works on Debian. I use it on etch. Regards, Joey
