where to get libpam.so

[James Viswasam]

I am trying run AMS (alphaserver management station) software on Redhat Linux 7.3
AMS needs Sysman authentication server.
When I try to start smauth (/etc/init.d smauth start) I get the following error.
"/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libpam.so: Cannot open shared object file: so such file or directory.
sysman authentication server (smauthd) failed to start"
I am a novice in Linux.
I would greatly appreciate your help in fixing this problem.

you must install "pam" package.
if you don't have install cd you can download from internet

hi
this is pam for redhat 7.3
you may install it:
rpm -ivh pam-0.75-46.7.3.i386.rpm

maybe you will need newer version

Thanks for the reply.
I reinstalled Linux 7.3 Choosing the server option rather than custom install and it got the PAM packaged installed automatically.
