Wich app? PAM? Login? My module? My test app? :)
Thanks a lot for that test harness!!! I debugged with it and this is what I found out:

1: the tester request for a "login" service (and my module is loaded for that)
2: the tester calls pam_authenticate.
3: my module returns PAM_SUCCESS
4: the tester calls pam_acct_mgmt(pamh, 0) 
5: pam_permit.so handles that and returns PAM_SUCCESS
5: the tester calls pam_open_session(pamh, 0);
6: pam_unix responds to the call, and, on the line 98 of pam_unix_sess.c, it calls the this function on support.c:
	
_log_err(LOG_INFO, pamh, "session opened for user %s by %s(uid=%d)",
	 user_name, login_name, getuid());

/* values: user_name = "tbezerra", login_name = "", getuid() = 1022 (tbezerra's id) */
	
And there, at line 53 [syslog(err, format, args);], the tester halts!! No error, no nothing. Simply stops!
More ideas?? I'm really lost!!

It sounds like it might be the app.  At any rate, I personally use this 
test harness to get everything ironed out, _THEN_ I start testing with 
actual apps.  It makes it really easy to see what's going on.

This is a very hand gem!  (Thanks to Darren Tucker!)
