You can test that it imports successfully with:
python -c "from xpra.server import pam"

Maybe one of the libraries pam needs is not installed? ie:
yum install pam

Otherwise you'll have to figure out what is missing with:
ldd /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xpra/server/pam.so

I'm using Xpra 3.0.6 on RHEL 7. When I use 'tcp-auth=allow' it works,
but obviously I need pam instead.
Yes, if your users all have system accounts then it's easier.
Otherwise, you can try another backend (ie: sqlite)

FYI: you can run your server with "-d auth" to get more authentication
debugging output.

Thanks for the pointers. I was using the Fedora package rebuilt for RHEL 7. The Fedora package was not shipping the PAM binary module. After a rebuild with PAM enabled auth is working. I'll inform the maintainer.

One final issue: Sessions are not closing when the user disconnects.

I am using 'xpra proxy --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:port --html=on --tcp-auth=pam --exit-with-client=yes --terminate-children=yes --exit-with-children=yes' and after a user disconnects the 'xpra start', X server, and pulseaudio are left running. I would have expected the session to fully exit. Am I wrong or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Michael
