enabling PAM authentication causes all monit shell calls to fail

[Ali Jelveh]

hey!

we have just updated to 5.3.2 and turned on pam auth, now using the web interface everything works perfectly, on the shell however all commands fail:

address@hidden:/tmp/foobar$ /usr/sbin/monit -c /home/protonet/dashboard/shared/config/monit_ptn_node -l /home/protonet/dashboard/shared/log/monit.log -p /home/protonet/dashboard/shared/pids/monit.pid status
monit: cannot read status from the monit daemon

and

address@hidden:/tmp/foobar$ /usr/sbin/monit -c /home/protonet/dashboard/shared/config/monit_ptn_node -l /home/protonet/dashboard/shared/log/monit.log -p /home/protonet/dashboard/shared/pids/monit.pid start all

relvant config with some of my tries to make it work:

set httpd port 2812
   use address 127.0.0.1
   allow @admin
   allow @protonet
   allow localhost
   allow 127.0.0.1

any ideas on how to make this work? the user calling the script belongs to the groups defined in the config.

Thanks! Ali
