Environment:
Debian Jessie container running on Proxmox v4 kernel 4.4.98-2-pve.

I need to add mysql user to the shadow group in order to get PAM authentication to work.

I tried with 10.1.30 (that comes with the Debian release I installed).

I also installed 10.2.11 from the MariaDB repository without luck. I still need to add mysql to the shadow group to get PAM authentication to work.

Is there a safer way to proceed ?

Many thanks.
