debian cleans /var/run each time the system boots I believe. So, I would reccomend making a script that creates that link on boot. and/or file a bug, I use pwcheck_pam (as opposed to pwcheck_standard) which does not appear to have this problem. I have pwcheck running on many systems and have never had a problem with needing a link in /var/run .. you could change to pwcheck_pam by doing update-alternatives --config pwcheck I think(been a while). Note that pwcheck_pam has a pretty nasty memory leak. pwcheck_pam is required to use things like NIS, or LDAP for authentication as opposed to just using /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. glad you found the solution :) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
