Package: libpam-usb
Version: 0.4.2-1
Severity: normal

I get the following (some details censored with ***):

/--------
| # pamusb-check ****
| * Authentication request for user "****" (pamusb-check)
| * Device "**********" is connected (good).
| * Performing one time pad verification...
| * Regenerating new pads...
| * Unable to update pads.
| * Access granted.
\--------

I guess that the "Unable to update pads" message is due to trying to
access the user's NFS-mounted home directory as root (which the NFS
server maps to nobody).

I think that PAM should temporarily become the target user when
accessing user files.

For now, my workaround is to symlink ~/.pamusb to /var/local/pamusb/$USER
