# You may need to remove the "md5" auth required pam_unix.so shadow md5 account required pam_unix.so Beside the fact that the "md5" entry in auth is not meaningful (it's only used in the password chain) it will probably fail on Gentoo/FreeBSD, and this does not follow the rest of the system logins. It should probably not install the pam.d shipped by upstream but use pam.eclass and pamd_mimic system-auth auth account to generate a boilerplate pam.d file.

Diego, you as PAM expert, can you please take a look and fix this issue for exim?
I actually gave you the solution already: pamd_mimic system-auth auth account
(In reply to comment #3) > I actually gave you the solution already: > > pamd_mimic system-auth auth account From what I understood that creates a file called "auth", so I used pamd_mimic system-auth exim auth account instead. I hope that fixes the problem.
