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.
