It took all of the above and a bit more, combining information from these two sources, debug messages appear in /var/log/debug.log (maybe not everything is needed): https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.3?topic=modules-enabling-pam-debug https://help.duo.com/s/article/5095?language=en_US /etc/pam.d/kde file doesn't include an entry for pam_unix.so but references password-auth which has multiple entries and I added 'debug' to each entry. Unfortunately I don't really know how to decipher these dubug messages :-( -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
