I tried to replace the shadow package with the slackware original and removed all the other packages except for the linux-pam package. Matlab still runs so it is only necessary to install the pam package. |
I know you already solved it, but in case you don't want the libpam package actually installed on your system:
I ran into the same problem. This is what I did: 1. Mirror https://github.com/Dlackware/pam 2. Build pam using the supplied SlackBuild. 3. explodepkg your newly built pam package to grab libpam. 4. Copy libpam.so.0.84.2 to (e.g.) /opt/MATLAB/R2017a/bin/glnxa64/libpam.so.0.84.2 5. Make a link so libpam.so.0 points to libpam.so.0.84.2 (ln -s libpam.so.0.84.2 libpam.so.0) I'm pretty sure I sent a message to The MathWorks detailing all this in the hopes that they'd document it, but they simply replied "Slackware is not a supported Linux OS." I also asked that they not link against libpam, because as far as I can remember, MATLAB isn't actually using libpam to do anything. |

The thing is something like a remote control, and the teacher can see and act on any of student computers. So, for lack of PAM, on at least three schools the kids learn Ubuntu instead of Slackware. Trust me, there. ;) Read the story of those three schools as about 5000 of possible future Slackware users was, well... lost. Every year. But this is a old story, from 8 years ago... |

Well, I just replied to your questioning of the general PAM utility in Slackware, nothing more... ;) |

Since you want to continue this, on a more on-topic point and as an entirely separate issue, your advice about substituting a load of dlackware stuff on the OP's system to run matlab was way wide of the mark. Let me lastly add that I have nothing particularly against pam or systemd. As I mentioned, I have both running with slackware64-current on one of my computers, on a much less intrusive basis than dlackware achieves. I also have gnome-3.24 running on it. |

In fact, while Richard Cranium happens to advice the usage of http://www.slackware.com/~vbatts/pam/ , myself I warned the OP that this project is about an eventual PAMification of Slackware, and how I know that it is still relative old stuff, I suggested https://github.com/Dlackware/pam as more viable alternative for, IF the OP wants to go this path for real. Read: I explained the context of what OP is ready to go. Yet, I issued another warning about the possible dramatic consequences of this choice and the risk to render the system unusable on slightest mistake, like you seen. ;) Finally, while after my warnings about the eventual consequences the OP being still undecided, guess who go forth?

Sorry, this is unintelligible drivel. And still misses the point.

I believe that Darth Vader would attempt to out-stubborn a cat.
It was my belief that the OP just wanted Matlab to work and really didn't give a damn about installing PAM to handle authentication on his/her system. I believed the OP would have simply grabbed the libpam package, looked inside it, and install the shared library that he asked about in the first message. If it will make you shut up, of course you saved the day, Darth Vader. |

Darth Vader's point that package set I pointed to might not actually work if you installed it all and actually leave you with a severely borked system is not without merit. However, PAM has been a bee in Darth's bonnet for a few years now. I start to wonder if our BDFL doesn't include PAM simply to tweak Darth's nose. |
