No, it's not. PAM items are specific pieces of data whose type and semantics are understood by the PAM framework, applications, and all modules. You cannot just make up a number and use it; the library has to understand what you're doing. Fortunately, you almost certainly do not need to add a new item. If your module needs to store data to be used in a later invocation, take a look at the documentation for pam_set_data(). PAM data is private to each module and can be anything you want, so long as you provide a destructor. -- Jeff
