openssh bugs - May 2005 - [Bug 1041] Allow the admin to specify PAM service name

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1041

           Summary: Allow the admin to specify PAM service name
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: PAM support
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: fabio at gs2.com.br


It would be really nice if we could set the pam service name used instead of
'ssh' throuhg some PAMService parameter. 

This would allow for more flexible configurations, for example, using different
authentication backends for concurrent OpenSSH server instances on the same
machine with various IP address or different listening ports.

Thanks in advance and keep the great work. You guys rock.

The main distribution already allows this, the PAM service is argv[0].  This
means that if you do "ln -s sshd testsshd" then run
"/path/to/testsshd", it will
use the PAM service "testsshd".

Some vendors (eg Debian) hard-code SSHD_PAM_SERVICE during their build process.
 If this is the case for your system then you need to take it up with them.

Hmm, thank you, Darren. Sorry for the bogus bug report. Maybe I should have
asked on the mailing list first. 

Thanks again. :)
