Anyone out there know more about PAM under Solaris 7/x86 then I do, that can maybe tackle this, and/or suggestion a route to take to fix? After doing some debugging, it looks like the problem is a seg fault at: sshd.c:void pam_cleanup_proc(void *context) ========================================== debug("PAM_retval(open_session) about to run"); pam_retval = pam_open_session((pam_handle_t *)pamh, 0); debug("PAM_retval(open_session) successful"); if (pam_retval != PAM_SUCCESS) { log("PAM session setup failed: %.200s", PAM_STRERROR((pam_handle_t *)pamh, pam_retval)); do_fake_authloop(username); } ========================================= PAM Password authentication accepted for user "marc" debug: PAM setting rhost to "atelier.acadiau.ca" debug: PAM_retval(remote_host) successful debug: PAM_retval(acct_mgmt) successful debug: PAM_retval(open_session) about to run Segmentation fault ========================================== so, its looking like I'm authenticated properly, but when trying to set up the whole environment, its failing...? anyone know how I should go about debugging this? thanks...
