ixPAMmkdir

[Alan Garner]

There is/was nothing *mkdir* in /usr/lib/security but there is a symbolic link in the .../hpux64 directory that points to the the correct file in /opt/iexpress/pammkdir/...

I even tried to fool the by adding a sybolic link in the /usr/lib/security directory...still no go! But to show you...

root@hostname /root # ll /usr/lib/security/*mkdir*
/usr/lib/security/*mkdir* not found
root@hostname /root # ll /usr/lib/security/hpux64/*mkdir*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 51 Jul 24 15:03 /usr/lib/security/hpux64/libpam_mkdir.so.1 -> /opt/iexpress/pammkdir/lib/hpux64/libpam_mkdir.so.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 75240 Jul 24 15:56 /usr/lib/security/hpux64/libpam_mkdir.so.1.original

I think you are getting killed by the way that you have the modules stacked. Try this order:

login session required libpam_hpsec.so.1
login session required libpam_mkdir.so.1 skel=/etc/skel umask=0022
login session sufficient libpam_unix.so.1
login session required libpam_ldap.so.1

That did the trick although it throughs an erro in the syslog abount unknow option! But I can work that out. At least now it does create the directory.

Thanks.
