I'm trying to make port of latest cyrus-imap server. It supports PAM now. But imapd run as cyrus user. Is it possible to authenticate user using pam_unix.so by non-root user? From /usr/src/contrib/libpam/CHANGELOG * pam_pwdb can now verify read protected passwords when it is not run by root. This is via a helper binary that is setuid root. Where is this helper? Where can I get more information on this topic? Vadim Chekan. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
