from my exim.conf:
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "User Name : Password"
server_condition = "\
${if pam {$1:$2}{yes}{no}}"
server_set_id = $1
/etc/pam.d/exim:
auth required pam_unix.so nullok
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
from the log:
Nov 29 13:45:55 coyote PAM_unix[791]: authentication failure; (uid=8) ->
corax for exim service
I started exim with -bd -d3. here is the output:
[...]
fixed_login authenticator:
$1 = corax
$2 = xxxxxxx
expanded string: no
535 Incorrect authentication data
LOG: 0 MAIN REJECT
Authentication failed for localhost (g) [127.0.0.1]: 535 Incorrect
authentication data
I made a mistake somewhere but where?
