Hi. >> I am a bit confused about the usage of pam_mount. >> >> Here is my /etc/pam.d/system-auth: >> >> auth required pam_env.so >> auth required pam_mount.so >> > > add use_first_pass to this?? 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 >> for the password a second time during SSH login: 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 >> (as the usage is suggested in the man page and in the docs)?
