I think, the permissions of kcheckpass are OK:

-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     bin         28924 Nov  8  2004 kcheckpass*

That's cool - that simplifies testing a lot...!			:)

On my Solaris 10 box, the above line leads to a return value 2 (AuthError):

kcheckpass; echo $?
Password: 
2

On a Solaris 9 machine, I get a return value 0.

I built kcheckpass/kdebase with these options for configure:
--with-shadow --with-rpcauth --with-pam=yes

When installing my KDEs under Solaris 10, I used the template 
for /etc/pam.conf provided by Stefan Teleman 
(ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.4.3/contrib/Solaris/SUNSTUDIO10/INSTALLATION/PAM.INSTALL/etc.pam.conf.diff). 
Here, I don't see any entry for kcheckpass. Is this OK?

/etc/rpc and /etc/services also contain entries just for dcopserver and dcop.

  Heiko
