Problem loading libpam_unix.1

Alex Lavrov — Thu, 15 Apr 2004 01:59:25 GMT

Hello,
I'm using Tivoli on my servers and sometimes I get an error message:
"load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1"

I don't know where the problem is ....
In HPUX or Tivoli ...

Thanx.

it is the PAM module used by HP-UX for authentication purposes, i hope. I dont know much about Tivoli, but are you doing any authentication that uses unix users and groups.

Also, i doubt you are getting the error message "sometimes"... can u pls specific about when do u get this error?

Hey, well, I'm not tha fimiliar with Tivoli, so I don't know when it uses the authentication module, but I get this message atlest 2-3 times a week.
How can I check if this module is OK and the problem is not in HPUX (or it is and Tivoli is OK) .... ?

Hi

This is probably cause dby an attempt to ftp in to the box and not the tivoli

Sub logins can do it

What's the permissions, owner:group?
# ll /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 184320 Oct 15 2001 /usr/lib/security/libp
am_unix.1

# chmod 755 libpam_unix.1
# chown root:sys libpam_unix.1

can you check, through chatr, whether this library depends on /usr/lib/libdld.1 ? if so, and if you are using a loader version B.11.36 or later (as reported by "what /usr/lib/dld.sl"), then the library cannot be used in a 11.x application that also depends on /usr/lib/libdld.2. almost all 11.x applications use libdld.2 since libc.2 itself depends on it.

We are seeing the same problem and IBM had no clue !!! We can't get the job scheduler to even work because of what is going on here.

The load modules error shows up anytime someone tries to log into the job scheduler GUI. "tivjsc"
It uses existing local accounts UID.

I can run the "tivoli" util. as root no problem and set up users, but no one, even root can log into the job scheduler.

I'Ve tried a few things with no luck.

Any more ideas >??????

Maybe a libfile line in pam.conf needs to be pointed to one of its own libauth files???

If you use just using the default authentication sources, did you try restoring /etc/pam.conf from the default pam.conf file in /usr/newconfig/etc/ directory.

Both pam.conf's are the same.
