Yes, sorry. I was in hurry when I posted this message.
I dont understand whay in CheckPAMAuth function only PAM_USER item is
adding to pam information before authenticate?
Wheter it would be a problem to set additional pam information like
PAM_RHOST which is very useful because we can use this item to restrict
access to this ip address.
I hope I'm more specific now and you will understand me.
Sorry, but I'm not native english speaker.
