With or without. Tried both.

I tried that as well.

Well I did not analysed my system's password resolution THAT deep (this is
my fault :)) so I cannot tell whether PAM works or not. But I installed
libpam0g and libpam0g-util so I suppose it does, since me and the users
are use usual login procedures as telnet or ftp, and they seem to work.
[Uhh, sidenote. Checking the dependencies showed that I have no packages
depending on libpam, so, ehm, could be that nobody ever cared it's there.
So I cannot tell whether my PAM installation is correct or not since
nobody uses it AFAIS. How to tell...?]
Unfortunately I cannot tell - even using all the debugging levels are
there - what is the problem when failing authentication. Isn't it possible
to create a nice Just For Me pppd with extended pw fail debugging? (PAM or
plain result codes, details on failing like lib fail, pw fail, aging fail,
etc.) I'd glad to run it for you and tell the result! [I badly need a pppd
handling libc6 utmp/wtmp correctly.]
Of course I tried 2.3.2-2. Didn't worked with or without the ppp-pam
package. Is the ".../pam.d/ppp" file correct? I'm not a PAM guru...
bye,
peter
