Hello list,
My freebsd 8.2 box has a new, interesting error. When I go to change
any user password I see the message passwd: pam_start(): system error
as in :
[root@LBSD2:/etc/pam.d] #passwd
Changing local password for root
passwd: pam_start(): system error
passwd is able to see it's libraries:
[root@LBSD2:/etc/pam.d] #ldd /usr/bin/passwd
/usr/bin/passwd:
libpam.so.5 => /usr/lib/libpam.so.5 (0x2808e000)
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x28096000)
Here are my libraries:
[root@LBSD2:/etc/pam.d] #ls /lib
geom libcrypt.so.5 libncursesw.so.8
libalias.so.7 libcrypto.so.6 libnvpair.so.2
libalias_cuseeme.so libctf.so.2 libpcap.so.7
libalias_dummy.so libdevstat.so.7 libreadline.so.8
libalias_ftp.so libdtrace.so.2 libsbuf.so.5
libalias_irc.so libedit.so.7 libssp.so.0
libalias_nbt.so libgcc_s.so.1 libthr.so.3
libalias_pptp.so libgeom.so.5 libufs.so.5
libalias_skinny.so libipsec.so.4 libumem.so.2
libalias_smedia.so libipx.so.5 libutil.so.8
libavl.so.2 libjail.so.1 libuutil.so.2
libbegemot.so.4 libkiconv.so.4 libz.so.5
libbsdxml.so.4 libkvm.so.5 libzfs.so.2
libbsnmp.so.5 libm.so.5 libzpool.so.2
libc.so.7 libmd.so.5
libcam.so.5 libncurses.so.8
I was wondering if there was a way to resintall pam under freebsd?
This machine is an 8.2 release
