Hello,

I am using the latest Ngircd on an Ubuntu 64 bit vps. I am trying to setup Ngircd with PAM. I've read the documentation for PAM here: http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/PAM.txt but I am having a few questions and issues:

- I've set up /etc/pam.d/ngircd as follows: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_userdb.so db=/etc/ngircd/ngircd-vuser.db account required pam_userdb.so db=/etc/ngircd/ngircd-vuser.db session required pam_loginuid.so

Ngircd is running under the user irc but I am not sure if the user has permissions to use this pam file as specified in the PAM.txt file?

- I see the following message in /var/log/syslog:

==> /var/log/auth.log <== Aug 23 10:41:12 mail ngircd[8733]: PAM _pam_init_handlers: could not open /etc/pam.conf Aug 23 10:41:12 mail ngircd[8733]: PAM pam_start: failed to initialize handlers

==> /var/log/syslog <== Aug 23 10:41:12 mail ngircd[8733]: PAM: Failed to create authenticator! (26)

Why is it looking in the empty file /etc/pam.conf and not /etc/pam.d/ngircd ?

My relevant config sniplet: # Use PAM if ngIRCd has been compiled with support for it. PAM = yes PAMIsOptional = no

Can I force Ngircd to look for /etc/pam.d/ngricd (world readable) ?

I am using this berkley vuser setup the same way with vsftpd.

Regards,

Michiel
