[cobalt-developers] mod_auth_pam

["Matthew Nuzum" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, so far so good.  I have Apache, Frontpage 2002 extensions, Chilli
ASP, PHP all working harmoniously together.  My last little problem
(that I know of) is mod_auth_pam.

At first, when I fired up the server, I tried to log in to a protected
directory.  I believe that the auth worked, but the httpd process would
segfault so I didn't get too see much.  This doesn't surprise me too
much, since apache certainly changed a good amount.

Of course removing the .htaccess allows everything to work fine, so the
only variable is the auth stuff in the .htaccess.

I downloaded and compiled mod_auth_pam 1.0a from
http://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam/ .  Now, I have no segfaults,
instead, my user name and password is rejected.  I get the following
message in /var/log/httpd/errors:
[Wed Apr 17 23:51:45 2002] [error] (13)Permission denied: access to
/stats failed for 65.34.53.29, reason: Authentication failure

The relevant portions of my .conf files are:
access.conf:
  AuthPAM_Enabled on
  AuthPAM_FallThrough on
httpd.conf:
  #LoadModule pam_external_auth_module
lib/apache/mod_auth_pam_external.so
  LoadModule pam_auth_module    lib/apache/mod_auth_pam.so
  AddModule mod_auth_pam.c

I tried the following two configs for PAM:
The example that came with mod_auth_pam:
# The PAM configuration file for the `httpd' service
#
auth       required   pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
account    required   pam_pwdb.so

and the default:
auth       requisite    /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
auth       requisite    /lib/security/pam_shells.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

My .htaccess file is the default (I think) for the stats directory:
#Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require group admin
Authname WebStats
Authtype Basic
AuthAuthoritative off

All I really want is to be able to get people into the stats folder.
Any suggestions or tips out there?  Anyone know what version ships with
the cobalt and if there's a src.rpm file?

Thanks,
