Re: help with running popen

["ronald de la cruz" <rcdelacruz gmail com>]

This doesn't really look like a PAM question, exactly;  although PAM and 
whatever calls it will determine which UID and GID your module starts 
executing as.

gpg is a bad example;  it's much more paranoid about the (E)UID and 
(E)GID it runs under.  I don't think sudo will go quite far enough.
Check the command you're trying to run manually;  run it as root, as a 
"full" regular user, and as a restricted user like nobody.  You'll 
probably have to do some additional (E)UID/(E)GID tweaking to get your 
module running as the correct UID/GID for what you want to accomplish.

thanks for the reply...but my only problem is adding the 'sudo' in popen.
if i run it without sudo, there's no problem...

my main concern is how the PAM module will accept that sudo.
