Hi All. This patch calls pam_chauthtok() to change an expired password via PAM during keyboard-interactive authentication (SSHv2 only). It is tested on Redhat 8 and Solaris 8. In theory, it should have simply been a matter of calling pam_chauthtok with the PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK flag, it'd only change the password is if it's expired, right? From the Solaris pam_chauthtok man page:

In OpenSSH 3.6.1p2, pam_open_session() ran with a conversation function, do_pam_conversation(), that fed text to the client. In OpenSSH 3.7.1p2, this is no longer the case: session modules run with a conversation function that just returns PAM_CONV_ERR. This means that simple session modules whose job involves printing text on the user's terminal no longer work: pam_lastlog, pam_mail, and

Hi All. Attached is a patch that converts pam_chauthtok_conv into a generic pam_tty_conv, which is used rather than null_conv for do_pam_session. This allows, for example, display of messages from PAM session modules. The accumulation of PAM messages into loginmsg won't help until there is a way to collect loginmsg from the monitor (see, eg, the patches for bug #463). This is because the

Hi All. Has anyone else tried the current tree on Solaris 8? I installed a recommended patch cluster and now I get PAM errors, but only on a non-interactive (ie no TTY) login. I think this behaviour was introduced with the patch cluster. First thing is that in debug mode, the debug at auth-pam.c:534 derefs tty which is null, and segfaults. This occurs in debug mode only and is easy to fix.

All, I tried to sign up for this list a few weeks ago, but I don't think it worked. After I confirmed my intention to be on the list, I only got one single message from someone on the list, and that was it. So, either this is a particularly quiet list, or my subscription was dropped somehow just after it was made. So, if you could kindly CC me directly on any responses to this, I sure would

I've implemented a patch to openssh which allows the PAM auth layer to detect if the PAM stack has changed the user name and then adjusts its internal data structures accordingly. (imagine a PAM stack that uses individual credentials to authenticate, but assigns the user to a role account). First, is the openssh community interested in this patch? Second, if there is interest in the patch,

Hi All. Attached is another patch that attempts to do pam_chauthtok() via SSH2 keyboard-interactive authentication. It now passes the results from the authentication thread back to the monitor (based on a suggestion from djm). Because of this, it doesn't call do_pam_account twice and consequently now works on AIX 5.2, which the previous version didn't. I haven't tested it on any

Hi All. Attached is a patch to perform pam_chauthtok via SSH2 keyboard-interactive. It should be simpler, but since Solaris seems to ignore the CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK flag, it calls do_pam_account to check if it's expired. To minimise the change in behaviour, it also caches the result so pam_acct_mgmt still only gets called once. This doesn't seem to work on AIX 5.2, I don't know

Hello there, We are using OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 on various Solaris boxes with PAM and an LDAP server back end. Recently we have added a requirement for users to have complex passwords. The problem is, if a user's password has expired, when they log in they are prompted for a new password (good) but if they enter a non-complex new password the session is closed rather than

Hi. I'm one of the OpenSSH developers, and I've done some of the work on sshd's PAM interface recently. I've discovered some behaviour peculiar to LinuxPAM that I can't explain: changing the conversation function does not appear to work, even though the pam_set_item() call claims to succeed. The previous conversation function is still called. Background: the PAM API

Hello! My Linux-server is every day attacked with brute-force password cracking attacks. I use openssh-3.9p1 (SuSE Linux 9.2) with standard setup (PAM, LoginGraceTime 2m, MaxAuthTries 6).

SecureComputing's PAM library doesn't pass back the correct context to the pam_conversation function, i.e. it passes back NULL. So this patch works around this fact. likely you'll only want this hack if you expect to use pam_safeword.so in your authentication check, and only if you run sshd in privilege separation (separate process) mode so that the PAM conversation is single

For root sessions pam_open_session is called, but not pam_close_session. sshd behavior is broken for root logins because if pam session is run from the child, close is never called due to exec: on open since use_privsep is not set, parent calls do_exec_pty(), which does not open session. then, it skips calling do_setusercontext(), so it does not open session. child calls

Hello! Please consider including the attached patch in the next release. It allows one to drop privilege separation code while building openssh by using '--disable-privsep' switch of configure script. If one doesn't use privilege separation at all, why don't simply allow him to drop privilege separation support completely? -- Sincerely Your, Dan. -------------- next part

Hi, I am using PAM authentication on 3.8p1. In my PAM auth module I can turn on debug logging that includes a timestamp in the form "mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss". Life is good. I want to upgrade from 3.8p1 so I can use PAM for PasswordAuthentication in addition to keyboard-interactive. I have compiled both 4.1p1 and 4.3p2 and the PAM authentication for both methods works fine in both
