I was trying to use a smart card to authenticate user on a RH7 linux box using a pam_smartcard module. I've modified the 'login' pam config file in /etc/pam.d auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_smartcard.so <<<-------------------------- ADDED auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional /lib/security/pam_smartcard.so <<<------------------------- ADDED session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so After that I've used the xsh (xsh user service) program in PAM source tarball to verify the smartcard module and it seems to work: i've been asked to insert the smartcard and the PIN and the session is opened; if the Smartcard is removed the session was blocked... If I try to login from the 'real' console I get the usual login/password prompt and in /var/log/secure the following : Nov 5 16:58:28 aleph login: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_smartcard.so) Nov 5 16:58:28 aleph login: PAM [dlerror: cannot open shared object file: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory] Nov 5 16:58:28 aleph login: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_smartcard.so Someone has ideas of whats happenig? Thanks Niko
