Hello.
Finally (yesterday) I've found a solution which made pam_userdb to be
able to find, to open and use it's user database. Pam_userdb obviously
needs a database in old dbm format using two database files with "dir"
and "pag" extensions. The only way to create them that I found is to use
a Perl script with dbmopen function.
Why not recompile PAM to support new db formats? As seen from the
pam_userdb source code, an attempt was made to support them, only the
conditional defines there seem to be not working.
Boris.
