Has anyone been seriously looking into building in PAM support in eLog? I ask because I have started reading the developer papers from Sun and looking at sample code.


Not really. I have two big issues higher on my list: XML database format and multithreaded HTTP server. From having a quick look to PAM, I was not sure how easy this would be to implement. If it's not too difficult, it could move higher in the priority list.

Hi all! This is an HTTP POST request submitted from the command line using curl, and providing no authentication information. If I can post as myself using this command, then shouldn't something be done about this? Cheers, Dimitris

Tell you what, I'm looking at two items related to eLog -- tell me to stop if you want:

  • forkpty() emulation for Solaris
  • PAM support

I'm furthur ahead on the forkpty() - just trying to figure out exactly where to place the code. Once I know it works then I can give it to you to incorporate. Unless you want what I have now and you can work on it.

I've also got quite a bit of reference code for PAM support. A little more daunting.

Yes indeed. I fixed that in SVN revision 1655. I upgraded this server so you can try again if it works.

Stefan, I found the following "forkpty()" replacement for running under Solaris.


Ok, I put your code into the current SVN revision (1656). Unfortunately I cannot try it due to the lack of a Sun. Maybe you can try and tell me if it's working.

Actually, what I will be delivering is a new Makefile with conditional compile statements plus the C code module since the example that I provided need some cleaning. Since I don't have a Linux system on which to test the conditional compile completely I would need you to do that. Sound ok?

Sure. I put already the conditional compiling into the current Makefile, so just try it. I tested the Linux part, which is ok. If you could test the Solaris part, that would be great.
