[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2407] openpam won't look for pkgsrc pam module path

[Stephane Russell via Redmine <bugtracker-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Issue #2407 has been updated by Stephane Russell.


I'm not sure about your last question. I'm adding the pam-krb5 package alone, to use with login, xdm and the like. So the problem is not with any specific package. Theses clients are not aware of the existence of pam-krb5 itself. For what I understand, all path specifications can only be done in /etc/pam.d.

The default pam configuration files in DragonFly and pkgsrc are specifying pam_krb5.so without the path. pkgsrc seems to take for granted that /usr/pkg/lib/security is in the libpam search path. To fix this, I added the complete path with all pam_krb5.so modules with success.

I noticed that the build of libpam is made with this flag: -DOPENPAM_MODULES_DIR='"/usr/lib/security/"'

This flag is defined here:
lib/libpam/Makefile:MODULE_DIR=     ${LIBDIR}/security
lib/libpam/Makefile:CFLAGS+= -DOPENPAM_MODULES_DIR='"${MODULE_DIR}/"'

This parameter is hardcoded and for what I see, there is no way to add dynamically other search paths.

Bug #2407: openpam won't look for pkgsrc pam module path

When I try to load pam modules that where installed from pkgsrc, they're installed in /usr/pkg/lib/security, which is not included in the openpam's search paths defined at compile time. I'm getting this error:

Aug 18 12:45:38 yyy login: in openpam_dynamic(): No such file or directory
Aug 18 12:45:38 yyy login: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_xxx.so found
Aug 18 12:45:38 yyy login: pam_start(): system error

The complete path is not specified in the default pam.d service files that comes with DragonFly.
