Hello all, I'm writing a pam module, which needs to run on linux and solaris, to track failed logins. Similar idea to pam_tally, but different functional spec. Sadly I'm not aware of a clever method to trap failure of a pam_authenticate() call, so am approaching this using a similar method to pam_tally: tallying calls to the auth stack and assuming (potentially incorrectly) authentication success when pam_acct_mgmt() is called. I'd like to store tally data in the pam handle, but Sun's pam implementation does not define PAM_DATA_REPLACE when pam_set_data() is called. Is there a clever but not-overly-inelegant way to replace data in such a way that the cleanup routine knows when it is being called from pam_end()? Or am I going to have to resort to temp files...?
