I see two problems: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
1. pam-docs says nothing about it (or it is so deep I did not find |
| 29 |
it). If the user-db file is /etc/postfix/virtual_users.db then how |
| 30 |
in the hell should user know he must write: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
db=/etc/postfix/virtual_users |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
in pam-config file and not: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
db=/etc/postfix/virtual_users.db |
| 37 |
??? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
2. error-log is very misleading. It says |
| 40 |
'/etc/postfix/virtual_users.db': no such file or directory |
| 41 |
while in fact pam was looking for '/etc/postfix/virtual_users.db.db'. |
