Comment 17 for bug 112937

whoops! spoke too soon. I'm actually using vmware server 2 beta. The above worked well enough to get to the login screen but not to authenticate, probably because it included common but not enough other modules. Here is the pam config which works for me.

auth sufficient pam_unix.so shadow nullok
auth required pam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok
account sufficient pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix_acct.so

#%PAM-1.0
@include common-auth
@include common-account
