I am having a little trouble with pam.

The setup I want is very simple: I don't need shadow access, so I don't
need pwcheck (we use NIS) so I just want PAM to be a gateway to the
normal routines for accessing /etc/passwd.

My current /etc/pam.d/imap is:
auth    sufficient      /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_auth.so
account sufficient      /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_acct.so

I can authenticate fine. The server logs the following after a simple
telnet login:

Sep 12 16:17:32 server imapd[2253]: login: server.foo.bar[192.168.69.1] user plaintext

However, when I try to use an IMAP client to test the server, the
following appears in the logs:

Sep 12 16:22:54 server pam[2675]: unable to resolve symbol: pam_sm_acct_mgmt

I read online somewhere that this symbol error means that the module
cannot do session management correctly.

I suspect that my /etc/pam.d/imap file is just off, but I don't know
which modules to use, so if someone could post theirs or point me in a
good direction, it would be very helpful.

Thanks.

Brendan
