Hey all, I'd like to wrap libpam so that I can use that for authentication and password management. I build ctypes (0.9.9.6) on my platform via ports.
Now according to OpenPAM documentation all sessions start with pam_start(). According to the man page it should contain this: pam_start(const char *service, const char *user, const struct pam_conv *pam_conv, pam_handle_t **pamh) Where service in my case should be 'auth' and user 'martin' with pam_conv being 'PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_ON' for testing purposes (at least I assumed it works this way, but probably I'm doing something wrong, though I don't know what the correct way should be like). When I tried it, python dumps the core with a Bus Error, I also tried other combinations but it all ends in a Bus Error, any suggestion how I should proceed? I don't know much about PAM or C so any help is much appreciated. This (and other things) is what I've done: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/home/martin]$ su Password: xinag# python Python 2.4.3 (#2, May 24 2006, 00:05:56) [GCC 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518] on freebsd6 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from ctypes import * >>> libpam = cdll.LoadLibrary('/usr/lib/libpam.so') >>> libpam.pam_start('auth','martin','PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_ON') Bus error (core dumped) Thanks in advance, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
