Hi: I'm createing a pam_sm_authenticate module for the gnome login windows, in this I need the userName and the password, I need to validate this information against a database, I have already obtained the username, and use pam_get_item(pamh, PAM_AUTHTOK, (const void **) pass); to obtain the pass, where pass is a (char *), everything works fine, but when the user logs on, the variable pass is NULL, and I can not get the pass that the user put in the gnome login windows. How can I get the password of a user usign pam_get_item, using the item_type (PAM_AUTHTOK), can somebody give an example. greetings _______________________________________________ Pam-list mailing list Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
