Hi Matt,
I just ran into this problem the other day. The way I solved it was I
re-configured with the following flags:
--without-md5-passwords
--without-shadow
--without-pam
I'm not sure, but I think the critical one was the --without-pam, because the log
file was giving me errors from pam.
Hope this helps.
