RE: pam_authz_search $tty

Hi Arthur,

Yes i meant VSFTPD.  

Is there any substitution variable in nslcd that would identify if the user is 
connecting using TLS/SSL or If I run vsftpd (ftp & ftps) as separate instances 
will I be able use the $service substitution variable to differentiate if user 
is connecting using ftp or ftps.

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Prem

If you mean vsftpd, from a quick look at the source code (version 3.0.3) it 
hard-codes it to "ftp". I don't think it sets anything that you can use in a 
PAM module.

If you need that you probably have to request this as a feature from vsftpd. 
Judging by the code, it shouldn't be that hard to implement.
