I have a peculiar problem. I have 3 users say user1 password as user1 user2 password as user2 user3 password as user3 All these users are allowed to use SSH. When some new user tries to login with username as user1 and types a password wrong, In other sense tries to hack. I want PAM to execute one module when it is wrong & skip that module when it is correct. Something like a if condition if(password entered is wrong) { Execute this module } If I try to use ssh and try to login as user1 and password as kfjdlk which is wrong I want to execute the below line how can I do this. Any ideas . How should I configure /etc/pam.d file. regards, adharsh
