Yes. | That would be surprising; if exim talks to PAM, it shouldn't care | (or even be aware, really) of the underlying PAM modules in place. Exim isn't, but the PAM module itself realizes that it can't read /etc/shadow, and thus can't ascertain that any given user/password combo is correct. Thus, as far as exim is concerned, the combo is wrong. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200206/msg03782.html -D -- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
