how to set PAM config to use pam_unix.so?

thanks

With proftpd, first be sure that 'PersistentPasswd' is set to 'Off'
If that's the case, then the method for using pam_unix.so varies by linux distribution.  My RedHat 7.3 box has the following:

/etc/pam.d/ftp

auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_env.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account    required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session    required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

/etc/pam.d/system-auth

auth        required      /lib/security/pam_env.so
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth        required      /lib/security/pam_deny.so

account     required      /lib/security/pam_unix.so

password    required      /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 type=
password    sufficient    /lib/security/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow
password    required      /lib/security/pam_deny.so

session     required      /lib/security/pam_limits.so
session     required      /lib/security/pam_unix.so

You can probably copy another file in the pam.d directory - such as pop or pop3 or something similar to the file 'ftp' and make sure it uses pam_unix .. and that should do the trick.
