Hi,
for all ppl, who have problems w/ libauth, try to download + install libauth from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/6.1/suse/a1/libauth.rpm first and then install nkitb.
Bye, Thomas
After installing libauth and updating nkitb the ftp server does not accept shadow passwords anymore (SuSE 6.1). Now _that's_ a secure ftp server! No logins allowed ... ;-)
It works if I put my encrypted password in /etc/passwd, but is there anyone with
10 brain cells who really wants to do that?
Any ideas on getting ftp working with shadow passwords again?
I forward this to your maintainer. I hope he knows to solve the problem.
BTW we have no ftp account in passwd because we don't allow anonymous ftp. But ftp worked for normal users before, maybe that's the fault? Or do I have to do some weird LD_PRELOAD stuff? Unfortunately, libauth comes with zero documentation except that the rpm info states that libauth actually honours /etc/shadow.
Hm, did you execute ldconfig after installing the lib?
On the other hand, this is another argument to convince our users not to use ftp and switch to scp instead ... ;-)
