Hi all, I had a somewhat unique problem relating to PAM on a RHEL system. I hope someone can take a look and check if there is a way to get this work. Suppose the Linux box has a user account "A". On the console, I login with "B", or "C". I have written a small PAM module that asks for a PW, and upon some internal authentication, it changes the PAM_NAME to "A" and returns success. Basically it maps multiple non-existent system logins to a single system login. This module is marked "sufficient" and ordered before pam_unix. Now I am able to login as "A", but only if "B", or "C", are present in /etc/passwd. If they are not present, after my module, the pam_unix module again asks for password, and returns error at the end of the sequence. Is it possible to login to a system with a non-existent account by modifying the username to a valid account in this manner? Thanks for any help/pointers!
