Hi.

In auth stage the pam_mount requests it's passwd from stdin and passes
it to the other modules.

>> If pam_mount.so is listed in the session definition I will be asked

As noted, the second password request is called in session stage which
does not accept pass options (and should not even ask for a password
afaik)

>> So my question is: what is the session entry used for within pam_mount

Best Regards
