I remembered you had, but I couldn't recall where it was. It took about two hours to get this module to do all that I wanted. Although my pam_test is limited in that it uses __pam_display_msg() instead of using the conversation function directly, which it really ought to do, to give good control over conversations/prompts. But all I wanted/needed was to be able to test pam_eval() and depth/invocation limits so I could observe pam_eval()/include interactions. I should probably just merge the conversation code from your pam_sample into my pam_test and put that somewhere where search engines can find it. > It seems like something useful for a catch all OpenSolaris repo. > I'm not sure it's something to ship with the base OpenSolaris.

Alright, so there's not many of *those* either :/ Nico --
