RE: PAM newbie

Hi,
	Thanks for your reply.
	You were right, I tried using "passwd" as the service name in the
pam_start() function call now 	pam_authenticate() works.
	Also, I am a little confused over the significance of this service
name parameter.
	Please help.
	I did not try using "login" as service name, but what is the
difference between the two services
	"login" and "passwd" and which one is to be used for user
authentication ?
	
	Thanks for your help.

	Neelay S Shah

Dear Neelay,
	Have you tried to configure the pam services (under the
/etc/pam.d) as well?
If you haven't, then try to use an already defined service in the
pam_start("login",...);
function.

--Cheers,
Marios

Hi,
	I am a newbie to PAM and I want to verify the user password.
	What I want to do is authenticate the current user.
	I tried using pam_start() and pam_authenticate() API's but it
always returns me "Not authenticated".
	What am I doing wrong ? 
	
	Thanks in advance,

		Neelay
