I had a closer look at the source, and one thing occured to me. It could be easier to use if it would run scripts in a well known .d directory, thus allowing other packages to slip in scripts that should run at login and logout. What about documenting and recommending a predefined path like /etc/pam-hooks.d/, and by default call run-parts /etc/pam-hooks.d from the pam module? This way, the debian-edu-config package could provide a script in /etc/pam-hooks.d/ to do the setup and cleanup needed by Debian Edu, and once PAM is properly set up, it would be enough to activate the scripts. Here is a patch to let the sample file include the proposed setting: --- pam-hooks-0.0.1.orig/test/sample_pam.d_line +++ pam-hooks-0.0.1/test/sample_pam.d_line @@ -1 +1 @@ -session required pam_hooks.so /some/where/hook.sample param1 param2 +session required pam_hooks.so /bin/run-parts /etc/pam-hooks.d I guess the README file should be updated to recommend this default as well.
