PAM Testing

[Andreas Schneider]

Hi,

at the SambaXP conference last week we talked about testing of PAM modules and 
we want to do automatic testing. To do this in the Samba build farm we need a 
separate pam.d config directory for testing. I've created a patch against 
Linux-PAM which adds a function called pam_start_test(). The only difference 
is, that it takes a config directory argument. pam_start() calls 
pam_start_test() with NULL for the config directory and the default 
(/etc/pam.d/) is used.

After this, I've created a patch for http://pamtester.soruceforge.net/ to use 
pam_start_test() and added the possibility to specify the config directory via 
a commandline option.

It would be great if this would be in a future PAM release.

Best regards,
