Re: PAM rules inside pam.d

Thanks for your valuable inputs. The PAM module information is not yet clear
for me. The pam_unix, which i debugged was from Linux-PAM-0.78 (www.*linux*
fromscratch.org/blfs/view/blfs-book-6.0-html/postlfs/*linux*_*pam*.html )

I think the libraries too belong to the same library. I apologize� if i
asked this query to wrong forum.

Currently i dont see any issues with crypt library as you have suggested. I
will plan to upgrade the PAM library and see how it goes.

Thanks a lot

I debugged pam_unix aswell, it looks like crypt function is giving
different strings for telnet and my application with same passwd

linked telnet and my application.
please let me know your thoughts

There's not much I can say (or think) since you still haven't told me
what you upgraded *from* and *to*, but I doubt very much that there is
anything wrong with crypt(). The only two possibilities I can think of
are a) your application calls set_crypt_format() with an incorrect
argument, or b) your application contains an alternate (incorrect)
implementation of crypt(), or is linked to a library that does.
