There is entries for it in /etc/pam.d. is there a way i can be sure pam
is enabled?
looking closer at the authentication done by cyrus(strace on the pwcheck
program
when attempting a login) it seems as though pwcheck looks straight to
/etc/shadow
to find valid accounts, if it finds one it then checks the password. i
tested
it by adding a dummy user to /etc/shadow (with nothing in password
field) and
cyrus accepted the user but then said invalid password. so i imagine
that
cyrus just doesn't support nis/pam.
looking at the changelog i see a reference to update-alternatives(a
command
which i've never used) so it seems as if i use that i can change the
config from pwcheck_standard to pwcheck_pam and that may enable
support for NIS.
i'll try it out tomorrow. thanks a lot!@
