I'm using the libpam-sfs PAM module, which lets users authenticate at login and for importing directories in one single step. The binary .deb that comes with Woody works fine. But...
Short version: when I try to compile it from source I hit a wall. Anybody managed to compile it? Long version: $ apt-get source libpam-sfs E: Unable to find a source package for libpam-sfs So I got it from SourceForge (libpam-sfs-0.2.2.tar.gz), unpacked it and run dpkg-buildpackage. It dies with: make: ./configure: Command not found Ooops, there is no configure. But there is autogen.sh. I run autogen.sh and then dpkg-buildpackage again: checking for main in -lgmp3... no configure: error: gmp3 library not found Uh? $ dpkg --status libgmp3 Package: libgmp3 Status: install ok installed Let's see... # ln -s /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3 /usr/lib/libgmp3.so # dpkg-buildpackage Ok, past libgmp3, but now it ends with... checking for main in -lsfscrypt... no configure: error: sfscrypt library not found But debian/rules does call configure --with-sfs-libdir=/usr/lib/sfs, and: $ ls /usr/lib/sfs/libsfscrypt.* /usr/lib/sfs/libsfscrypt.a /usr/lib/sfs/libsfscrypt.la /usr/lib/sfs/libsfscrypt.so What am I doing wrong? BTW, I've tried to compile libpam-sfs on RH 7.2 and 7.3 too with no success, either (though the problem there seems related to nana-config.h). I'm setting a file server in an environment where clients' roots aren't necessarily trusted and phisical access to the network is not restricted, so NFS isn't the healthiest choice and I have found no alternative beyond SFS that is reasonably gentle to sysadmins. (No, after LDAP plus Samba there's no way I'm grokking Kerberos for AFS. ;->) Thank you for any help, Massimiliano
