[Pam-mysql-general] pam_mysql + vsftpd

[Anoop B. <ab...@in...>]

Hi,

I've sent this email to the vsftpd developer as well and wondering if i 
can get some ideas on what i'm doing wrong here.

has anyone got vsftpd and mysql working together for auth on rhel 3?

here is the mail i sent to chris evans, anyone have any idea where my
configs are failing?

====================
Hi Chris,

I'm trying to implement vsftpd with pam_mysql and the documentation out
there for it is quite scarce. Perhaps you can help me identify the problem?

I think you will find this info useful

I'm running Redhat Enterprise 3.0 on an HP Proliant DL360 G2.

Mysql and VSFTPD are installed and so is pam_mysql.so in /lib/security.
The db is filexfer and the table is user and the passwords are stored in
clear text (not my implementation).

my /etc/pam.d/vsftp contains

auth       required     pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny
file=/etc/vsftpd.ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth       required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth       required     pam_shells.so
account    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth

auth       optional     pam_mysql.so user=root passwd=<pass> db=filexfer
table=user usercolumn=username passwdcolumn=passwd crypt=0 sqllog=0
account    required     pam_mysql.so user=root passwd=<pass> db=filexfer
table=user usercolumn=username passwdcolumn=passwd crypt=0 sqllog=0


and I am able to log select statements as well

mysqld.log shows

041004 13:09:41       4 Connect     root@localhost on filexfer
                       4 Init DB     filexfer
                       4 Query       SELECT passwd FROM user WHERE
username='jbayerdc'
                       4 Quit


when jbayerdc tries to log in. Note that jbayerdc is not a system
account at all. my personal account on the system however does have access.
