I am trying to implement a feature in a UNIX passwd-programm. The authok, which is to be the future passwd for login, is randomly generated and stored in char * randstring[]. I want to get pam inject that randstring, so that this randstring is the new password. I have tried retval = pam_set_item(pamh, PAM_AUTHTOK, randstring); which does not work, although it returns PAM_SUCCESS. Eventually, I get a permission denied error and the program exits. Can anybody point me in the right direction or show me how to properly set a password from a string in PAM API? Thank you, -- Christopher J.
