I had written a pam_create_account, but it's a major security hole - anyone can log in, and they get prompted for the password twice, and then the account get's created. The individual had requested the module so that techs in the NOC had an easy time of creating them, and set it up on the console-only login. Is this what you are looking for? If so, I'll send you the code and let you hack away.

PAM is running as root, at least I get a UID and EUID of 0 when using the get_(e)uid() function in a module I have been writting.

The next thing I want to do is to read in the contents of the /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow files during the pam_sm_authenticate() process so I may either add the user locally before mapping the ticket from a successfull kerberos authentication

So far I am turning up nill on the subject, I am on SuSE 9.0.

Thanks,
