I don't. As described in my first message, I am using libssh from within a PAM module that happens to be also used for ssh authentication. There is no linking involved on my part and I suspect the libssh from openssh is being 'injected' by LD_PRELOAD or some other mechanism (when sshd is executed at the start of an ssh session) and I can't do anything about it. I realize this is an arcance use case. Now, there is similar functionality in openssh's libssh but it is largely undocumented, the naming is obscure and I cannot even link to it properly so I had to resort to 'dlopen' etc. (Haven't tried for that long, though). Therefore I'd really like to use libssh but I have no idea how to achieve this short of shared object redirection via fiddling around with ELF internals. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
