Oddly enough, I’m using CentOS, but it doesn’t work. I believe it’s something in my DS config, but I can’t seem to figure out what. Any other places to look?<BR>

Hi, Aaron. I'm no expert on this and am struggling to figure it out<BR>
myself however I did find I had to tweak the order of pam modules in<BR>
Ubuntu. If I recall correctly, CentOS worked out of the box. I know<BR>
that's not a clear answer but I hope it sparks you to find a solution.<BR>
Please post your results as I'd like to know. Thanks - John<BR>
