The pam service used by the auth-pam plugin is too generic

Bug Description

Seems like currently the plugin uses the "check_user" service (passed as parameter to pam_start() in plugin/auth_pam/auth_pam.cc line 115), even though I see in bug #484069 that drizzled should be used instead (local patch?).

Having a name as generic as check_user doesn't seem right, I guess I should also rename it for Gentoo and provide a pam.d configuration file if needed.

Still nothing on this? Latest release still has the same check_user service…

Hi again,

Yeah, after looking into the source code a bit, I believe that the service name should be "drizzled". Or possibly common-auth (at least on Debian). For Gentoo, is there a pam.d configuration that is appropriate for "typical" use like common-auth?

Finally, should we install a pam configuration file specific to individuals systems? Do you have any advice here?

Thanks much!
