Description Aleksey Nogin 2001-06-08 17:24:38 UTC

After upgrading to RH7.1 I found myself unable to use pam_userdb module:

Jun  8 10:24:52 mojave snauth[1474]: PAM unable to
dlopen(/lib/security/pam_userdb.so)
Jun  8 10:24:52 mojave snauth[1474]: PAM [dlerror:
/lib/security/pam_userdb.so: undefined symbol: conversation]
Jun  8 10:24:52 mojave snauth[1474]: PAM adding faulty module:
/lib/security/pam_userdb.so

Recompiling the program (snauth) under RH7 didn't change anything.

This is a known PAM bug, see
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pam/Linux-PAM/modules/pam_userdb/Makefile.diff?r1=1.3&r2=1.4
for a fix.

Comment 2 Aleksey Nogin 2001-08-16 21:21:18 UTC

The newer pam-0.75 package in rawhide does not have this problem.
