DBM versions and pam_userdb.so PAM module




	Hello all!!


	I have to authenticate using pam_userdb.so but it cant open (or find 
or recognize) the dbm file(s). (Debian woody).

	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, made with 'tie()') 
and also the new one (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?



	Thanx
	Tom
