Can’t login cvs server after update to Snow Leopard 10.6
Thursday, September 10, 2009, 19:08
I updated to Mac OS X 10.6 aka Snow Leopard early this week. I found that I could no longer update from the local cvs repository I had installed on my MacBook. I first reinstalled CVSNT from http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/ but it did not work better.
I found the answer in the system log:
Sep 9 15:41:22 macbook cvs[26910]: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_securityserver.so found
It appears something has changed in the naming of the pam authentication modules. The solution is to change the definition of the authentication for the cvsnt server. I edited /etc/pam.d/cvsnt and changed it to:
# login: auth account password sessionauth sufficient pam_opendirectory.soauth required pam_deny.soaccount required pam_permit.sopassword required pam_deny.sosession required pam_permit.so
Back in business.

Bless you! I found this while googling for the error “no pam_securityserver.so found”, which was breaking imapd on my system. A similar edit of /etc/pam.d/imapd fixed things.
