</div>So what should I be looking for? This is Mandriva, but the only thing I<br>
see uncommented:<br>
<br>
# Fedora Core 5:<br>
auth include system-auth<br>
<br>
Then there are these commented examples:<br>
<br>
# Fedora Core 2:<br>
#auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth<br>
<br>
# Red Hat 7.3:<br>
#auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth<br>
<br>
# SuSE 9.0: (along with "configure --with-passwd-helper" and "unix2_chkpwd")<br>
# auth required pam_unix2.so nullok<br>
<br>
# Distant past:<br>
# auth required pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok<br>
