I'm having some trouble writing a PAM application and I didn't know if someone could offer some advice. My skills with C are pretty basic so I could be compiling something wrong. The situation is that I am trying to write an interface between Java and PAM. Java can call a shared library, so basically I am trying to write a shared library that then calls PAM to do the authentication. I have this written, and if I write a small C program that calls my shared library then everything works fine. As soon as I call it from Java though, the calls fail and the following show up in the event log: Mar 4 22:51:25 mandelbrot java: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_env.so) Mar 4 22:51:25 mandelbrot java: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_env.so: undefined symbol: pam_get_item] Mar 4 22:51:25 mandelbrot java: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_env.so Mar 4 22:51:25 mandelbrot java: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_unix.so) Mar 4 22:51:25 mandelbrot java: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_unix.so: undefined symbol: pam_get_item] Mar 4 22:51:25 mandelbrot java: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_unix.so For some reason PAM is having trouble loading 2 of the modules (the stack that I am calling has 4). I am linking my shared library with: ld -fPIC -Bsymbolic -shared auth.o osapi.o -lpam -lc -o libosapi.so (the .o files were all compiled with -Wall -fPIC) Can anyone suggest what is going on here? I would be grateful for any help.
