>Description:
The pam_radius module supplied with NetBSD fails to work with certain applications when configured using /etc/pam.d/* files. The following output is from attempting to use pam_radius to authenticate users via the ftp daemon supplied with NetBSD:
ftpd[11960]: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_radius.so found
ftpd[11960]: pam_start: system error
The following output is from attempting to use pam_radius to authenticate users via the security/courier-authlib daemon:
authdaemond: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_radius.so found
Interestingly the same module _does_ work with a postfix->SASL->PAM->radius configuration.
The file does exist under /usr/lib/security with the correct permissions . I packaged another pam_radius module from http://www.freeradius.org/pam_radius_auth/ which works successfully with all applications.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use the pam_radius module for auth with the NetBSD ftpd or security/courier-authlib package.
>Fix:
Sorry, not known.
