Hi PAM team I have a requirement - I authenticate users that do not exist in /etc/passwd via PAM module where I set the unix_user_id, PAM_USER etc. While the PAM_USER value coming from PAM module is just a dummy username coming from my pam module and it is added in /etc/passwd to have a shell for the user, unix_user_id is not available in /etc/passwd. This appear to work fine as far as starting the shell is concerned, I am not able to do any sudo calls. It gives me the error: sudo: PAM account management error: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info So looks like basically, it is trying to fetch the user info for the userid that does not exist. How can I support this? How can I do sudo for users authenticated via pam and not existing in /etc/passwd ? _______________________________________________ Pam-list mailing list Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
