Hi everyone, I'm using freebsd 4.7 and want to authenticate some services using the pam-mysql module. I can authenticate successfully when I use the normal out-of-the-box methods, but when I try to use the pam-mysql module, I get nothing... I've got postfix running, and postfix is succesfully using mysql thanks to it's great usability. But when I want to use Courier IMAP/POP to work with pam-mysql (in /etc/pam.conf), it doesn't appear to work at all... Normally, when you cd yourself into a ported application (/usr/ports/security/pam-mysql) and type make, followed by make install and when needed, follow any other instructions on the screen, it'll work. I turned on loggin in mysql, so I can see any connection made and any select statement made, but the attempts used with pam-mysql are not logged at all. Which simply means that pam-mysql can't even connect to the mysql server. I've been searching with my friend Google, but can't find anyhting that might help me... It's very likely that I overlooked a few things, but I'm kinda wandering in a maze right now... I'm stuck... What I did was install a plain FreeBSD 4.7 from the CD's. I selected the maximum security (which means no service is started by default). Next, I installed a plain mysql. I installed a plain postfix with mysql support. I installed a plain Courier-IMAP/POP3. When I use the default pam authentication methods, no problem, everything works fine. But as soon as I want to use pam-mysql for POP3 and IMAP, no connection is made to mysql... What am I missing here??? Any help much appreciated.. Thanks, Dennis Ortsen Dennis@pinetree.nl
