After a bit of researching I would like to clarify that utilizing the pam_putenv() function would allow me to pass a UID/GID pair to the pam_unix authentication module as long as the pam_unix module utilizes the pam_getenv() function to recognize a valid UID/GID pair vs utilizing the getpwnam() function. Please forgive me if this is off topic for this list. -- Jas "Tomorrow isn't promised so we live for today" _______________________________________________ Pam-list mailing list Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
