1. What problem is are you seeing ?
2. What end goal are you trying to achieve ?
3. Are you using only the pam_unix module shipped by Sun ?
4. Are you using a 3rd party module ?
5. Are you using the pam_krb5 module along with SEAM ftpd ?

Did you update syslog.conf, create the file and pkill -HUP syslogd ?

Do you want PAM module debug or PAM framework debug ?

Note that not all modules understand "debug" as a module argument, and
you may not do the same thing with it.

Framework debugging is undocumented and private. For Solaris 7 create
/etc/pam_debug (using touch), update syslog.conf to log auth.debug
somewhere.

Note: that PAM framework debugging changed in Solaris 9 - but it
remains and undocumented feature intended for use only by Sun
engineering and Sun Services to debug problems. It is not and never
has been a substitute for logging of errors/actions in the modules.
