Hi guys, I'm trying to write up my own PAM module to authenticate users coming in from ssh channel. This module was working pretty well until lately I wanted to enhance it a bit. What I tried to achieve is that when the system is in a bad state (detected by my PAM module), I want to prompt the user for a special pre-defined password for recovery purpose; the prompt I wanted is like "system is unstable, pls provide recovery password:". I passed this message through the pam_conv structure which I got by calling: pam_get_item(pamh, PAM_CONV, &void_conv); However this prompt never got showed up in my log-in screen. Here I specified the msg_stype as either PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF or PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_ON however none of this works. So I'm thinking even though PAM has defined this conversation structure however looks like SSHD doesn't really honor it well enough. Am I missing something here or is there a workaround for me to achieve what I want? Thanks a lot in advance. -Kent _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
