Re: Order of executing modules

The problem with "old pam_mount" is that it is executed in the auth section. There is not a problem with the order you specified. When a user log's in, The authentication mechanism tries to mount the directory when the password is being verified. Unfortunately, the "old pam_mount" doesn't mount it during the session, after pam_mkhomedir is run, it occurs in the auth section, before the session is run, which means it will fail.

He's saying, use a different form of pam_mount that works with the session timing. Your order is correct, but the module itself was poorly designed.

What is "old pam_mount" ? I am using 0.5.10-3 from Debian package and it
doesn't work without being placed in the "auth" section (of course the
placement doesn't give much sense to me too).
Thank you.

I have troubles forcing pam_mkhomedir to create the user's home
directory before pam_mount tries to mount a network drive to it. The
order of modules in my "ssh" pam config is:

auth requisite pam_mount.so use_first_pass

session requisite pam_mount.so

logic suggests pam_mount is rather pointless in the "auth" section, and some searching shows that indeed the old pam_mount is badly written. hava a look at the pam_mount from http://www.flyn.org/projects/pam_mount/

the README in that one shows pam_mount.so only in "session", more
sensible.

good luck,

tony
