Hi Philip and list,

    I found that Solaris PAM works if EXIM_USER set to root.
    On 3.x, I've left EXIM_UID blank, it worked well.
    But on 4.x, I've set EXIM_USER to 6 (mail).
    So, TLS credentials (files can be read only for root)
    and PAM stopped to work.
    I understand that I have to run exim-4 with UID=0.


Thanks and regards.
