Hello, I'm with a module, pam_script. This module is able to execute a script when a session starts and ends. I'm using this ability to execute some scripts when a user logins in for the first time, and when a user is logging out and he is not logged in on a other way. To do this I use the utility "w": wc -h $userid | wc -l gives the amount this user is logged in. Now when logging in for the first time - with login (of the shadow [ackage) or with kdm (of kde) - this is zero. That makes sense. Until pam has completed all the things it does when a user logs in, this user is still not logged in. He is when pam has finished. So, there is no problem when logging in (at the console or with a graphical interface) But now loging out. When logging out with login (part of shadow) the output of the command is: wc -h $userid | wc -l 1 but when logging out with kdm it is: wc -h $userid | wc -l 0 Now kdm and login are using the same file in the /etc/pam.d directory. I'm using kdm from kde-3.4.2, and login from shadow-4.0.12. When I look at the source code (login.c and client.c resp.) I can't explain this different behaviour. Both are calling (in this order): pam_setcred(pamh, PAM_DELETE_CRED) retcode = pam_close_session(pamh,0) pam_end(pamh,retcode) KDM is not using the variable retcode, but I think that's not important. The order is what counts. Does anybody know what's causing this? Thanks in advance. Stef Bon (but really, I don't want to understand, I only want that wahtever way I login, the behaviour should be exactly the same.) _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
