Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Telnet Daemon

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

Thanks Heiko, I think you are right about the problem being to do with 
pam.d, but I have tried a lot of settings for file /etc/pam.d/samba but 
I still have (different) authentication failures.

The other files in /etc/pam.d all seem to have individual settings and I 
have tried lots of them! Does anyone have pam.d settings which can work 
for SWAT login under DL 1.4?

Regards

Dominic
