openSUSE 12.3 and WebYaST

Webyast not work. After login in webyst, i have the following problem;

This is embarrassing… We are sorry, but there are some problems.
Problem:
No such file or directory - /sbin/unix2_chkpwd

Hi, I saw this too. Searched Yast’s Softwaremanager for “unix2_chkpwd” with all options on. The program is in the “pam-modules” package. Install it.
BTW, this did not bring a working situation yet. Trying to find out what’s going wrong, it seems to be a webyast permission issue.

After install “pam-modules” the problem remains the same.

Ah, then you should report in Bugzilla that a needed package was not
installed.

Is the file “/sbin/unix2_chkpwd” at that location or is it somewhere
else now?

Report on the same bugzilla that you are also affected. When more people
insist on a problem, more chances of attention you get.

I had this problem too.
What I did was to paste the missing file path in Google. After that I figured out that the file was in the package ´pam-modules´. I only had to (re)install pam-modules from the opensuse repo!

If one were to look in the /sbin directory they might realize that there is no such animal named unix2_chkpwd… but there is a unix_chkpwd that works just fine.
So it must be an install script typo… where it is I don’t know, but whomever does please post how we can edit the file it created.
i.e.; Where is the file that is looking for unix2 ghosts?

Also worthy of mention since these pages brought me here…
These pages are fubar too: (Don’t make me go Linus on you!) rotfl!
openSUSE:WebYaST Installation/Configuration - openSUSE
openSUSE:WebYaST Installation - openSUSE

rcyastwc restart

should be:

service webyast restart

…on both pages.

This lovely tidbit is at the bottom of the latter page:
Start HTTP server

We can run web-client as any user. To run the web-client server from the command line, enter

cd yast-web-client/webclient
script/server -p **5**4984

Should Be:

cd yast-web-client/webclient
script/server -p **4984**

And ditch the IANA comment too.

Please post all that in Bugzilla.
