Hello! If I have an application that uses PAM to authenticate, and /etc/pam.conf is something like: myapp auth required pam_unix.so myapp account required pam_unix.so where "myapp" is the "service name" for PAM. My question is; must "myapp" be run as root if it wants to successfully authenticate with pam_uix.so? I am asking because pam_unix.so uses getpwent() to get the encrypted password, right? TIA for any help. reg. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
