Hi!

///////////////// I've enabled PAM authenticator:

login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = ${if pam{$1:$2}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = $1

plain:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = PLAIN
    server_condition = ${if pam{$2:$3}{1}{0}}
    server_set_id = $2



///////////////// I've tested 3 possible configurations:

0.] whithout /etc/pam.d/exim

1.] /etc/pam.d/exim

#%PAM-1.0
auth         required        /lib/security/pam_permit.so


2.] /etc/pam.d/exim

#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_tally.sofile=/var/log/faillog onerr=succeed no_magic_root
account required /lib/security/pam_tally.so deny=0 file=/var/log/faillog onerr=succeed
account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so

(btw it seems exim even doesn't try to talk to PAM)

What is wrong here?
