Hi,
The problem is with the PAM authentication system but is likely to be with
your configuration of shadow passwords - please send me the following:
1). A full (ls -l) directory listing showing:
* /etc/passwd
* /etc/group
* /etc/shadow
2). A full listing of the above files using "lsattr" (this is likely to
be completely useless - I just want to make sure I have every
conceivable thing which could affect things).
3). A perhaps snipped copy of /etc/passwd (contains "no" private data).
4). A doctored copy of /etc/shadow (though it would help to leave some
silly user account in there like "foo" with password "bar" added
using adduser and checked that it has the same problems).
5). "tar cvfz jcm-pamd /etc/pam.d" - and I will then duplicate your
environment if I cannot spot an obvious problem, in which case I
can't do that until the weekend but will try to get around to it!
HTH,
Jon.
