Hi, I ran into a problem at a customer installation recently, where plugin-auth-pam was blocking for some extended time (~30 seconds?) due to pam_radius not receiving answers due to problems in the backend.
Now, maybe I should use radiusplugin in the first place, but since
the pam_radius setup on this machine is shared between sshd and OpenVPN,
I actually *like* using plugin-auth-pam -> pam_radius ("test one service,
know that radius very likely works for both").
That said, I'm considering modifying the plugin-auth-pam plugin to
add async authentication - which is supposedly not so hard
("sample-plugins/defer/simple.c").
Has one of you already done this, and just forgot to send in patches? :-)
Any particular caveats?
thanks,
gert
