after successful installing Perl PAM i have got this error

“PAM test failed – maybe /etc/pam.d/webmin does not exist”

But thank you very much to neo . Him solution was perfect.

vim /etc/pam.d/webmin
and write:
auth include system-auth
…save, quit, restart webmin.

its work!

vim /etc/pam.d/webmin
and write:
auth include system-auth
…save, quit, restart webmin.
Log will say:
PAM authentication enabled
instead of :
PAM test failed – maybe /etc/pam.d/webmin does not exist

Thank you!
In centos you might have to install pam-devel
yum install pam-devel
so you can later compile the lib.

Hi,

I get the following error when generating the make file
“C compiler can not create executables”

Any idea how I can solve this ?

Thanks
