Re: PAM not resolving pam_sm_setcred

[Joe Lewis <joe@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe that effect depends on the specifc implementation and 
operating system combination.  If I were you, I would rather fork(), and 
have the child exec() the program, calling the specifc script 
interpreter (such as "perl","/path/to/program","arg1","etc"), and then a 
waitpid().  Those functions should be available, but then again, I'm not 
sure, because it really does depend the most on the operating system.

I need to invoke a shell script to look up some information about the user before making returning success or failure.  I know the shell script runs fine, but the system() function doesn't seem to return, has anyone run into this as well?  TIA.
