Hi,
        Thanks for your reply.
        You were right, I tried using "passwd" as the service name in the
pam_start() function call now pam_authenticate() works.
        Also, I am a little confused over the significance of this service
name parameter.
        Please help.
        I did not try using "login" as service name, but what is the
difference between the two services
        "login" and "passwd" and which one is to be used for user
authentication ?
        
        Thanks for your help.

Dear Neelay,
        Have you tried to configure the pam services (under the
/etc/pam.d) as well?
If you haven't, then try to use an already defined service in the
pam_start("login",...);
function.

--Cheers,
Marios

Hi,
        I am a newbie to PAM and I want to verify the user password.
        What I want to do is authenticate the current user.
        I tried using pam_start() and pam_authenticate() API's but it
always returns me "Not authenticated".
        What am I doing wrong ?
        
        Thanks in advance,

                Neelay
