[PATCH] pam_tty_audit: add an option to control logging of passwords: log_passwd

Richard Guy Briggs rgb at redhat.com
Fri May 3 17:42:53 UTC 2013


Most commands are entered one line at a time and processed as complete lines
in non-canonical mode.  Commands that interactively require a password, enter
canonical mode with echo set to off to do this.  This feature (icanon and
!echo) can be used to avoid logging passwords by audit while still logging the
rest of the command.

Adding a member to the struct audit_tty_status passed in by pam_tty_audit
allows control of logging passwords per task.

This can be used with older kernels since it checks for the needed structure
members at compile time.
