That is what I was expecting. Wasn't sure though.The question behind the question is what do I have to do to let exim use the pam module? (Other than run it as root) I can change the permissions to let anyone execute pam.lib.so.0.72,but I'm concerned that this will open up some sort of security issue - though I don't know what that would be. I'm presuming the permissions were set this (conflicting) way for some reason.
