Sam,

authtest actually does a geteuid() call AFTER querying authdaemond to
retreive the uid.   Thus it is not possible to use authtest in this
manner as there's other magic happening in the preauth libraries
(including the setuid call allowing this to work...) which aren't
available to external systems.

|

Untrue!

This patch ensures authdaemond physically writes "UID=xxx" down the
socket  for authpam, authpwd, and authshadow, which currently do not do
this, although other mechanisms already do.


Can we have these changes please.


Cheers, Alan
