Pam Modules in eclipse

Question

I wanted to create a Pam module. I am using Eclipse as my IDE, and making the pam module in C/C++.

When I tried to include the 2 pam modules needed

#include <security/pam_modules.h>
#include <security/pam_macros.h>

and build, I get an error saying "no such file or directory", I was looking around my system to see if I could find the pam_modules.h and pam_macros.h, but with not luck. Maybe I was am looking in the wrong place, or I don't have them installed.

Where SHOULD they be stored, and how do I get to the point where I can use the two header files in my programs. Do I need to manually import them into Eclipse?

Answer 1

You want to install the pam-devel package (sudo yum install pam-devel) which contains the header files, under /usr/include/security.

Then (note the added underscore):

#include <security/pam_modules.h>
#include <security/_pam_macros.h>
