Danny, I have tried everything in my authmodulelist, from the default setting=20 which inludes 6 or 7 authmodules (including those you list above), down=20 to single entries for 'authuserdb' and 'authpwd'. As I understood the=20 INSTALL file and man pages I read, 'authuserdb' refers to the=20 /usr/local/etc/userdb.dat file, while 'authpwd' refers to /etc/passwd. =20 There was not any mention (that I could find) of an authmodule=20 specifically adapted for FreeBSD's /etc/master.passwd. Have you modified the 'authcustom' module? Do you have PAM installed on your syste? Have you perhaps used a tool which converts /etc/master.passwd to=20 /usr/local/etc/userdb.dat? Yes to any of these would be different from my environment - and perhaps=20 lead me to a solution?!? --=20 Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. Perimeter Networks CC.
