I'd like to set up a set of pam modules that will handle the authentication to a particular linux machine. What I'd like is behavior like that of solaris which I am told will do what I need. The idea is to use optional modules and accept the first one that works in order. With solaris, apparently via a bug (or maybe it's the other way around), if none of the optional modules are successful, auth will fail. If I try this under Linux, and I enter a bad password, or none at all, the optional nature of the auth line lets you drop right into a shell, ouch. Basically I want 'required' behavior with 'optional' symantics. Is this possible? Which is the "correct" version?
