Hi all,
sorry to bother you with this. I'm trying to set up an experimental system (which may become production if it ever gets off the ground) and it's not working.
The short version: I'm trying to get Dovecot 1.2.4 to authenticate against a customised PAM module. In short, we're using a specialised OTP radius backend. One of my colleagues has coded up a PAM module for this backend. The IMAP service is on HP-UX11.23, IA64.
The module is compiles into /usr/lib/security/hpux32 and is called "pam_cached_radius.so.0.0". The entry in /etc/pam.conf is: cached-radius auth required pam_cached_radius.so.0.0
The PAM module compiles OK, and my colleague's test suite (run, both as root and as our local "dovecot" user) works fine.
When I use the following options in dovecot.conf: auth default { user = root mechanisms = plain passdb pam { args = cached-radius } userdb passwd { } }
it fails leaving only the log entry below in syslog.

(Always 2 entries).
I appreciate that this probably isn't a dovecot issue per se, but it is suspicious that our test suite works and divecot can't access the module.
I'd be most grateful if anyone could offer some possible avenues of investigation. Thanks, SAW
