similar to: Letting PAM add a user

Howdy coders, in openssh-2.5.2p2, auth1.c, do_authentication() you folks do a call to getpwnam(user) If this fails, you NULL out 'pw' Unfortunately, this stops start_pam() from being called at all. I'm not a PAM API expert, but I was under the impression that there are pam API calls you should be making for account verification, in PARALLEL to getpwnam(), rather than being

Hello, appended is a patch that makes it possible to use PAM both for password authentication and TIS (i.e. s/key or opie or any other interactive challenge/response scheme). I have developed this starting from the patch at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/61/61906.html on Debian with openssh-2.1.1p4-3. After configuring ssh with --with-pam-tis, there are two PAM services, "sshd" and

I'm trying to understand the code around PAM support in auth2.c and auth2-chall.c. I'm working with the OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 sources on FreeBSD 4.x. The scenario I'm trying to make work is SSH login to a captive accout for users in a RADIUS database but whose login does not appear in /etc/passwd or getpwnam(). I understand that if the username is not found in getpwnam(), then the

I append a patch against openssh-3.5p1.tar.gz which adds a config option PAMServiceName. The option allows one to specify the PAM service at runtime in the config file rather than using __progname or having it hardwired to SSHD_PAM_SERVICE at compile time. I expect this to be useful if one wants to run multiple instances of sshd using different PAM configurations. With this patch

Hi All. I (actually the tinderbox[1]) found a problem with the fix for bug #422: when PAM is enabled on a platform that uses /etc/shadow, the variable "passwd" in auth.c is used uninitialized. There's a simple patch attached to fix this. The question is: should the locked account test be done when PAM is enabled or should we rely on PAM to do the right thing? In theory they

Hi, after installing 3.6.1p2 I noticed spurious PAM login failures even with PermitEmptyPasswords set to "no": sshd(pam_unix)[1740]: authentication failure; logname=XXX uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost=localhost user=XXX After looking at the code I noticed the following in the portability p2 patch: +++ openssh-3.6.1p2/auth-passwd.c 2003-04-29 19:12:08.000000000 +1000

Hi I'm attempting to compile samba 222 on Solaris 2.8 using Sun Forte 6 C compiler but I'm getting error messages.

The following are patches against openssh 2.1.1p4 to add support for the BSD_AUTH authentication mechanisms. It allows the use of non-challenge/response style mechanisms (which styles are allowed my be limited by appropriate auth-ssh entries in login.conf). The patches also add support for calling setusercontext for the appropriate class when called with a command (so that the PATH, limits,

Hi. I have found a error of openssh-2.1.1p2 port on systems with a mixture of shadowed and non-shadowed passwords. I reported a same type of error to Mr. Miller when openssh-1.2.1pre23 was released. On our systems, our local machines have shadowed /etc/passwd (and /etc/shadow) and our NIS server distributes non-shadowed password of general users. We have to use

Hello, I'm currently running winbind (from Samba 2.2.3a) so that our Windows users can ssh into our Linux box. I've set up Samba, PAM and winbind, and it's working well. Users can see their files, and they can log in using their windows usernames. No problem. When users access their Samba share, they don't need to reauthenticate, because they've already done so with the

I was browsing the OpenSSH sources (which are very readable, thankyou very much) and noticed that PAM was only being told what host the user is logging in from for account processing - not for password processing. As I can see no reason not to put this in start_pam this is exactly what I have done - and attached a patch to this effect. This allows PAM to fill in rhost= in its audit messages

BSD/OS 4.2 comes with OpenSSH 2.1.1p4, patched to support BSDI's authentication library. However, BSDI's patches have several problems: 1. They don't run the approval phase, so they can allow users to login who aren't supposed to be able to. 2. They don't patch configure to automatically detect the BSDI auth system, so they're not ready to use in a general portable

A while back, I sent in a patch that added Digital Unix SIA authentication to OpenSSH. Well, I just figured out that it didn't handle everything correctly (locked accounts could still log in). I thought I had checked that, but I guess I missed it. Anyway, here is a patch against OpenSSH 2.2.0p1 that fixes this. -- Chris Adams <cmadams at hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator

Dear list, since the order of authentication and AFS token/KRB TGT forwarding changed (around 3.0), we have had problems with users accidentally overwriting their credentials from a "password" login with forwarded credentials. E.g. user A logs in as user B, but stays with the AFS permissions of user A. A workaround is to use "-k" on these sessions, but "it worked without
