Sep 12 15:40:34 host_a vsftpd[24026]: PAM unable to
dlopen(/lib/security/pam_userdb.so)
Sep 12 15:40:34 host_a vsftpd[24026]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_userdb.so:

Additional info: n/a

Step 1a. db41_load -T -t hash -f logins.txt /etc/vsftpd_login.db

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2006-09-13 07:08:25 UTC

That's because the PAM configuration file should not contain paths to modules,
just their file names. The errors clearly state that there is no such file
/lib/security/pam_userdb.so.
