pam_userdb database format
Dear Sirs, Some time ago I've seen not working pam_userdb (along with cyrus or vsftpd) was discussed in suse-linux-e group with no solution being found. Facing the same problem I'd like to ask if anybody of security concerned people knows a solution. Sorry for being OT. My /var/log/messages reads as follows: (SuSE 8.1 ftp install) Dec 23 09:46:55 Budweiser pam_userdb[20033]: Verify user `user01' with password `pass01' Dec 23 09:46:55 Budweiser pam_userdb[20033]: user_lookup: could not open database `/etc/vsftpd_login' All possible (hopefully) db formats were tested. If the solution is not obvious I'll provide some more details. Yours, Boris Kimel. -- -- -- -- -- Boris Kimel N. D.

Dear Sirs,

No but it does not work with SuSE 7.3 also so you are not alone. I have been searching the web but I can not find anything that has a solution. There was one Russian email and my basic Russian tells me the guy has the same problem but I could not locate a answer where he had a solution posted. Maybe I missed since it is my fourth tongue. I noticed you have a Russin domain so maybe you can follow it up. http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/pam-list/msg05292.html Also you can find my email dated 14 Th November 2002 at the lists.suse.com -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
Dear Togan, I did read the very message (the whole thread). There was just talks about different db formats and finally someone suggested to use some Perl-DB_File library (???) to create the _right_ db format. Still there's no guess what format is right here. In fact my intent was to run this setup on a SuSE 8.0 box (which is installed from the original CD set). I have the 8.1 (Budweiser) at hand for testing purposes, but think it is the same. Should we ask someone at SuSE? Boris. -- -- -- -- -- Boris Kimel N. D.

Well some SuSE people do follow this mailinglist so we are actually asking SuSE among with many other sysadmins. The other option is which does not solve the pam_userdb problem yet solves the virtual user creation is to use pure-ftp. I have been reading the documentation and looks like it is possible. -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
Yeah, the problem was the old dbm format. More to it tomorrow, I'm too sleepy. Good night. Boris.
