PAM configuration

ranji_1 — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 03:29:55 GMT

Hi,

We are developing a PAM module for our HP-UX server to route the queries to RADIUS server.

We have compiled the PAM module and created a library and have changed the entry for "login" in /etc/pam.conf

However, when we attempt the login, its throwing an error in syslog as follows

load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/libpamnew.sl

Can anyone help us to identify what could be the problem?

Thanks,

Check permissions on file - they should be 555.

Thanks, but permissions are perfectly fine.

I've found running tusc on the process to be helpful as it should show you exactly what return code you're getting on the fopen. Turning on pam_debug may also help.

Provide us with the output of the following on your host.

file /usr/lib/security/libpamnew.sl
file `which login`
chatr /usr/lib/security/libpamnew.sl
ldd /usr/lib/security/libpamnew.sl ( make sure that this doesn't fail)

Does /usr/lib/security/libpamnew.sl or its dependent libraries have thread local storage?

Are you using PAM-Radius(on HP-UX) to route the queries to RADIUS server?
