Hello all, I hae a strange problem with ssh and pam. Her is my pam config for SSH. auth sufficient pam_unix.so auth required pam_pgsql.so host=db0 database= doldb user=postgres table=dol_user user_column=login_name pwd_column=password debug account sufficient pam_unix.so account required pam_tcontrol.so account required pam_pgsql.so host=db0 databa se=doldb user=postgres table=dol_user user_column=login_name pwd_column=password debug password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 password required pam_pgsql.so host=db0 datab ase=doldb user=postgres table=dol_user user_column=login_name pwd_column=password debug session optional pam_mkhomedir.so That pam_tcontrol module was written by yours truely and works just fine. However, wehn I allow the account sufficient pam_unix.so ssh will hit the pam_unix.so module and skip over my module and go straight to the pam_pgsql module. When I comment out the account sufficient pam_unix.so then pam hits my module like it should and then goes to pam_pgsql. The reason I have it set up this way is to provide a failsafe account in /etc/passwd that can log on to the machine in case the database becomes unavailable. Why would sshd jump from pam_unix to pam_pgsql and skip my module? Thanks for taking the time to read my post. - Joel
