Package: libpam-mysql Version: 0.6.2-1 Severity: normal I have an exim4 configuration of local (shell) users and virtual users residing in a mysql database. exim4 is configured to advertise TLS to all hosts, authentication goes through saslauthd which invokes pam with service smtp. After updating libpam-mysql to 0.6.2-1, saslauthd failed to authenticate through pam.
errors from /var/log/auth.log: May 1 13:17:05 alpha saslauthd[904]: pam_mysql - SELECT returned no result. May 1 13:17:05 alpha saslauthd[904]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_acct_mgmt failed: Permission denied May 1 13:17:05 alpha saslauthd[904]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=crea] [service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM acct error] configuration in /etc/pam.d/smtp: auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok auth sufficient pam_mysql.so host=localhost [...] crypt=1 account sufficient pam_mysql.so [same as above] even shell users (pam_unix) cannot authenticate now. Downgrading libpam-mysql to 0.5.0-6 up to 0.5.0-7.1 makes the whole thing work again. It was a bit tricky to find out which package caused the problem; analyzing logfiles and update logs showed that it should be libpam-mysql package, maybe a combination of packages. The downgrade issue may place a hint on libpam-mysql. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages libpam-mysql depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.20a-2 mysql database client library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime libpam-mysql recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
