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 }
