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 }
