======
I am trying to set up PAM-auth for a small testing system but I am stuck with a strange problem.
The system authenticates OK (both login and ssh can authenticate using the LDAP accounts) but trying to login to the same account to postgresql fails. I have setup a login role with the same name and authenticating against postgresql as that user works. my pg_hba.conf looks like this:
local all postgres
ident sameuser
local all all ident sameuser
host all all
127.0.0.1/32 md5
host ip_cis nagios xx.116.13.224/27 md5
host ip_cis all xx.116.13.224/27 pam
I try to connect as:
psql -h
cis.ipxxx.at -U tkircht -d ip_cis
My log (debug level 5) comes up with those lines even before I entered a password:
2009-07-08 21:28:06 CEST LOG: 00000: connection received: host=xx.116.13.253 port=47092

2009-07-08 21:28:06 CEST FATAL: 28000: PAM authentication failed for user "tkircht"
2009-07-08 21:28:06 CEST LOCATION: auth_failed, auth.c:1003
my pam stack looks (after many other attempts) like this:
auth sufficient pam_ldap.so
This suggests some problems accessing some pam-related file but I cannot imagine which one?
The server runs on Debian 5 by the way.
Any pointers would be highly appreciated - the PostgreSQL documentation is pretty thin on this..
Thanks!
