PAM errors using vsftpd

Hi All,

First of all, the system specs:

RHELWS v3 U2 on AMD64. Mixed *nix environment with password and disk mapping
done using NIS (not NIS+) from a SunOS4.2 box.  I have tried to use the ftp
program supplied with WS3, but it requires Kerberos authorisation, and we do
not use Kerberos...

I downloaded and compiled vsftpd 2.0.1 but that just didn't want to play at
all!  So I downloaded version 1.2.2 and unpacked it.  I've followed all the
instructions, but I cannot start it standalone and when I configure it using
xinetd I get PAM authorisation errors in the messages log.  Specifically:

Aug 20 11:18:37 lin03 vsftpd: PAM unable to
dlopen(/lib/security/pam_listfile.so)
Aug 20 11:18:37 lin03 vsftpd: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_listfile.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
Aug 20 11:18:37 lin03 vsftpd: PAM adding faulty module:
/lib/security/pam_listfile.so

Now, I don't know whether this is going to make any difference, but there
are libraries in /lib and also /lib64.  Is PAM using the right ones?  How
can I tell?

Any help would be appreciated.

Andy
