It doesn't return anything, including "-1" which system() should return if it were to fail. Meanwhile I got my stuff to work using fork/exec/waitpid calls as you suggested, in a stand-alone executable. We'll see how it goes when I bake it into the PAM module. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Lewis [mailto:joe@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 5:02 PM To: pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: PAM not resolving pam_sm_setcred If PAM has already begun a function call to the kernel, it would not allow the system() function to run until the kernel call that is executing is done, and should return an error if a kernel call is in progress in the code you are working in. I think the fork() and exec() functions should still be available to you. _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
