I've been using this PAM module for several months in Scientific Linux 6 in an environment, where system users are kept in a mysql database and authentication takes place through pam_mysql, without any issues. Now I intend to use it in CentOS 6, but since C6 and SL6 are clones, I do not expect to encounter any issues.

it's in epel-testing by the way

Comment 4 George Notaras 2012-03-26 16:07:25 UTC
Since I opened this bug report, it would be relevant to say that I've stopped using this software and, therefore, I won't be providing any more feedback about this.

As far as I'm concerned (as the reporter), please feel free to close this bug report.

This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of 'el6'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
