Hi I have installed pam_radius_auth to work on Redhat 7.3 and it seems to work fine. I then installed (compiled) it on a Redhat 9 box and it seems to be behaving quite strange. My pam.d/sshd file looks like this #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_radius_auth.so debug auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required pam_nologin.so account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session sufficient pam_radius_auth.so debug session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required pam_limits.so session optional pam_console.so The session (accounting) part of pam_radius_auth seems to work fine. I can see packets going to the radius server when I do a tcpdump on the client machine. This only works when I hash out the first line "auth sufficient pam_radius_auth.so debug". When the first line is not hasshed the authentication kicks in and nothing happens when I enter a username and password. I set tcpdump to sniff for all packets going to the radius server but there is nothing. My logs look like this.

What would the right syntax be for a strace command to trace this? So far I have recompiled, copy bin from other machines but nothing seems to work. Kind Regarsd Christiaan Ehlers
