Hello all,
I have a question using PAM to authenticate on Solaris 10, with 2.0rc2.
I need to set the user for auth-worker to root, else it will return
"Unknown user". Is that expected? I'm using PAM, so why does it need
access to /etc/shadow?
TIA!
Laurent
service auth-worker {
# Auth worker process is run as root by default, so that it can access
# /etc/shadow. If this isn't necessary, the user should be changed to
# $default_internal_user.
user = root
#user = dovecot
}
