[cobalt-users] A fix for Cobalt's Fix ... .htaccess on the Raq550.

[BSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx]

To the Users on this list.

I am not 100% sure if anyone has posted the fix, but here you go. 

Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Very first line, (after the upgrade) should read like this:

LoadModule pam_external_auth_module modules/mod_auth_pam_external.so 

Now, the problem is the placement of the LoadModule ... If you look down
your screen
you will see "ClearModuleList".  Oh wait, then you just whipped out what you
loaded.

That is NOT good!!!!  The fix?

Well, remove the "LoadModule pam_external_auth_module
modules/mod_auth_pam_external.so"
from the very first line, and then look down a ways, you should see that
same line again, but with 
a comment.  So, just uncomment that line out ... and restart apache.

***** NOTICE ******

If you haven't seen, the Cobalt 550 uses PAM authentication for it's users.
They are stored
in a database.  If you remove the "AuthPAM_Enabled on", you will NOT be able
to authenticate
against the system.

Do not remove anything that references "AuthPAM", you could have an adverse
reaction, and
actually cause some damage somewhere, somehow ...

Thanks, and Enjoy!
