Udo,

Here is my /etc/pam.d/system-auth file.

#%PAM-1.0

This file is auto-generated.

User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.

auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so

account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 quiet account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_permit.so

password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so

session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so

Any ideas?

Hmm, that doesn't look different from mine.

The log message you get shows that unix_chkpwd is called to verify the given password and that again means that all the mail users have to be stored in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.

Jan 12 11:25:41 hermes unix_chkpwd[4601]: check pass; user unknown

Can you su - $USER (if the user has a valid login shell)?

regards

Udo
