This is probably not the cleanest way do to it, but from your pam module you should be able to find the fd which is the socket being used (if you are lucky it will always be the same number) and then query the address yourself.
Thanks Jason (wow, there's a lot of Jasons).. This was unfortunately the answer I was expecting. The reason behind the PAM module is so that we wouldn't have to modify the code for our various services each time we wanted to upgrade them. However, I suppose adding a couple of lines to the code is still a lot better than having to add ~200 lines.
I don't know off hand how you would do that but it is possible. Check lsof and see how it does it (might be an ioctl or might involve /proc)
John.
Thanks! Jason DiCioccio
