This rpm didn't work for me. I have pam-0.59-5 and no shadow
passwords. Is is working for everyone else? I suppose I may
have a messed up pam setup from a slightly dodgy RH5.0 upgrade
(I didn't realise you weren't allowed to just download the
rpms one at a time and install them).

The symptom is that pppd rejects all callers, even if the
password is correct.
