Re: PAM authentication

[Lawrence, Wayne]

Hi Martin,

 

Have solved the problem now although pam is enabled on the system and monit reported that pam support was enabled during compilation it seems the pam-devel package is required.

 

Once i installed that and re-compiled it works like a charm.

 

Thanks for the quick reply though.

 

Regards

Hi,

the message is generated when the libpam was not found during compilations which disables the PAM support in Monit.

Please can you send the config.log (generated when the "configure" script finishes) and the output of "make" during the compilation? Can you also try the pre-compiled binaries from the Monit download page?


Regards,
Martin
