Description Lukasz Urbaniak 2011-11-07 07:40:43 UTC
After upgrade to the latest version of pam. User mail can not read /etc/shadow file via pam.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Exim set as a mail user
2. Exim authenticated smtp using pam
3. /etc/pam.d/exim set to 
# File autogenerated by pamd_mimic in pam eclass
auth    include         system-auth
account include         system-auth

4. /etc/pam.d/system-auth 

auth            required        pam_env.so
auth            required        pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
auth            optional        pam_permit.so

account         required        pam_unix.so
account         optional        pam_permit.so

password        required        pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocre$
password        required        pam_unix.so try_first_pass use_authtok nullok s$
password        optional        pam_permit.so

session         required        pam_limits.so
session         required        pam_env.so
session         required        pam_unix.so
session         optional        pam_permit.so

5. /etc/exim/exim.conf for pam

begin authenticators

plain:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = PLAIN
  server_advertise_condition = "${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}"
  server_condition = "${if pam{$2:$3}{1}{0}}"
  server_set_id = $2

login:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = LOGIN
  server_advertise_condition = "${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}"
  server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
  server_condition = "${if pam{$1:${sg{$2}{:}{::}}}{1}{0}}"
  server_set_id = $1

Actual Results:  
Nov  5 16:53:12 server unix_chkpwd[2821]: check pass; user unknown
Nov  5 16:53:12 server unix_chkpwd[2821]: password check failed for user (lukasz.urbaniak)


Expected Results:  
The exim should be able to read shadow file via pam.
