It's installed as /etc/pam.d/postgresql.
For this to work you need a system-auth file in /etc/pam.d, which would have lines for auth/account/required etc, and not just "includes". PAM seems to be another area on which Linux distributors have been diverging wildly for a long time; for example here on Debian the include lines look like auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so @include common-auth @include common-account session required pam_limits.so so I doubt one distro's config files are applicable to any other. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
