If you are an application writer, how do you know what modules will be called, not to mention what arguments you should pass them? One way comes to mind to do this; you could use pam_putenv() and pam_getenv() to pass tokens between the application and the modules. I just wonder if there might not be a better way to accomplish your goal. Regards, Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
