I have installed qmail 1.03 on a new RH6.0 intel machine
and have had difficulties getting the checkpassword-0.81
package to work, using its own test script:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup robin /bin/checkpassword pwd
It fails with:
-ERR authorization failed
with _both_ the vanilla checkpassword-0.81 _and_ the one
patched with the PAMifed diffs from the WWW page:
patch < pam-checkpassword-0.81-diffs
The system _is_ using shadow passwords:
# cat /etc/pam.d/passwd
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3
password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok nullok
shadow
#
I suppose the easiest fix would be to move away from the shadow
passwords.
