Hello everybody on this list! My problem: I have to write a module, that needs the previously entered password. To prevent a second prompting from the user for the password i would like to implement the "use_first_pass" functionality provided by other modules (to be able to stack the new module into the current setup). The current problem right now is that i don't really know how to access these data inside my custom module. I read already the whole "module writers guide", but i didn't found any hints to do this. And next, as i've read the source for pam_unix and if i understood it right, it is not storing the entered password, and therefor i can't use this. Maybe someone can help me or explain it to me.
