[jadmin] Fedora Core 4, jabberd-2.0-0.s11.9.fc4: pam auth failure

[Ben Williams]

Hi all,

I've just installed jabberd-2.0-0.s11.9.fc4 from the Fedora Extras 
repository via yum on Fedora Core 4. It's set up to use pam as the auth 
module and berkeley DB as the storage module (as per the RPM defaults), 
and I've configured /etc/jabberd/c2s.xml and /etc/jabberd/sm.xml with 
<id> as the name of the server (which resolves properly in DNS).

Each time I try to connect to the server as users that exist on the 
server (and can log in via ssh and dovecot imap), I get the following 
line in /var/log/messages:

Mar 15 14:18:21 tungsten jabberd(pam_unix)[18805]: authentication 
failure; logname= uid=100 euid=100 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=ben
Mar 15 14:18:41 tungsten jabberd(pam_unix)[18805]: authentication 
failure; logname= uid=100 euid=100 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=glenr

my /etc/pam.d/jabberd looks like this:

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     pam_nologin.so
auth       required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth

(Which is, for comparison, the same as /etc/pam.d/dovecot.)

I've googled and can't find anything useful. Has anyone seen this 
problem and/or can help fix it?

Thanks,

  - Ben
