[Bug 363272] Re: amd64 + vmware 1.0.9 vmware-authd broken

[Arthur]

I can confirm this error running.
I managed to get a little further by using the following pam configuration :
auth sufficient /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix.so shadow null ok
auth required /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok
account sufficient /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix.so
account required /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_acct.so 

 Now my authd.log produces :

May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM (other) illegal module type: @include
May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM pam_parse: expecting return value; [...common-auth]
May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM (other) no module name supplied
May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM unable to dlopen(<*unknown module path*>)
May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM [error: <*unknown module path*>: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM adding faulty module: <*unknown module path*>

Note... I have also unsuccessfully tried using the following in my pam configuration as suggested by another:-
@include common-auth
@include common-account
