Hello All, I implement currently the authentication in a daemon that I'm writing. In the implementation I encountered 2 problems with pam: 1) I want to find out if a specific pam-service is installed or not. Naturally I don't find really useful to lookup myself /etc/pam.d or to parse /etc/pam.conf or ... I try to call pam_start with the service name, and the with pam_get_item(..,PAM_SERVICE,..) to get the name of the loaded module, but unfortunately it return just the name of the requested pam-service, and not the real loaded service name (I request the service "foo", pam doesn't find it an load "other", but the returned name from pam_get_item was "foo"). Do anybody know if there is a way to resolve this problem? 2)I want to authenticate the user running the process. But unfortunately if the user is a shadow user (also the password is in the /etc/shadow file), this doesn't work, because my process run as not privileged user. There is a way with pam to solve this issue? I try to look at the code of xscreensaver, but doesn't help. Thank You all in advance, Fabri _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
