I'm having trouble getting dovecot to compile with PAM support. Output from the configure command says its checking for pam_start in -lpam .... no. I've checked, there is a pam_start in there. So how can I force configure to see what its looking for? I've tried the --with-pam switch and that doesn't work. I'm trying to build the latest RC7 on a Debian Sarge box.

...herport and it's fine. Now, one step further : I use pam on the server, and would like to use /etc/pam.d/ssh_remote as the pam config-file for the second instance of sshd and continue to use /etc/pam.d/ssh for the first one. It comes down to change the "service_name" parameter of pam_start() for the second daemon. I had a look in the source and SSHD_PAM_SERVICE is a constant. I could of course recompile with -DSSHD_PAM_SERVICE= "ssh_remote" but I would have to have two sets of binaries : One sshd and another sshd_remote. Not really easy. :-( Attached is a pa...

A little problem, which is bugging me: when using PAM authentication, Dovecot (0.99.5) does not set the PAM_RHOST item, so the PAM modules cannot know who the client is. We need this for some PAM module doing access control. Changing passdb-pam.c to pam_set_item it seems trivial, but I'm bugged as to how to get the client name from there. It seems not to be available in the auth_request
