Just letting those interested know that using the '['
and ']' characters
solved the problem of an argument with spaces being
split. Here is my
"/etc/pam.d/squid" config file:
auth required pam_mysql.so user=passwd_query
passwd=mada
db=eminence [query=select user_name from
internet_service where
user_name='%u' and password=PASSWORD('%p') and
service='web_proxy']
account required pam_mysql.so user=passwd_query
passwd=mada
db=eminence [query="select user_name from
internet_service where
user_name='%u' and password=PASSWORD('%p') and
service='web_proxy']
I'll probably send my patch to the pam_mysql project
page on sourceforge
after I've done a bit more testing. In the meantime,
let me know if you
want a copy.
Also, it might be worthwhile makeing the use of the
square brackets a
documented feature of PAM. Being able to encode the
square brackets in
an argument would also make sense but not having looked
at the code I
don't know weather it is implemented. Let me know if
you would think it
would be worthwhile me looking at the PAM source.
