Re: pam authentication for postgres

sorry for teh double posting I forgot the steps at the end

OK I am still trying to get pam working

here is the messages I have is the log from trying to log in

Nov 26 08:55:16 localhost postgresql(pam_unix)[22693]: authentication failure; logname= uid=26 euid=26 tty= ruser=
rhost= user=cherring 
Nov 26 08:55:16 localhost pam_winbind[22693]: user 'cherring' granted acces

as you can see winbind is actually granting access but fro some reason poasgres still denies it.
weird.  any ideas.

the steps I have done are listed below
