Hey everyone
Im folowing this tutorial
http://hangdog.pihl.no-ip.org/index....d=49&Itemid=62
been going throught it but there are a few things that dont make sence
at the moment i can open vmware in a browser but cant log in, so its defidently something wrong with pam
OK installed src2pkg
installed vmserver 2
used srx2pkg to make the pam.tar.gz pkg and will install with installpkg
( src2pkg -B -C -e='--libdir=/usr/lib --sbindir=/lib/security --enable-securedir=/lib/security --enable-read-both-confs'
Linux-PAM-1.0.1.tar.gz )
i ended up with a security --enable- folder and im not sure if thats right
anyway i pushed on incase it was and did the following commands and they made shortcuts but i dont think they work
After the package installed, I created several symlinks in /lib/security as suggested by Travis Hein:
ln -s pam_unix.so pam_unix2.so
ln -s pam_unix.so pam_unix_auth.so
ln -s pam_unix.so pam_unix_acct.so
the next peace is a bit ??? i already had a pam.d file in that location and then do i copy usr/sbin/vmware-authd into the etc as well??
Finally, I created etc/pam.d and copied usr/sbin/vmware-authd into the directory. NOTE: Due to some restrictions on my server, I cant have the / in front of the etc on one of these pages. When you create pam.d make sure you get it in the proper place. That etc should have a / in front of it.
thanks for any help!! Im firly lost and dont wish to do a reinstall of slack and help would be good
Cheers
Danny
