Hello, Yutaka. As far as I understood, in my case I can have only logs that are provided by auth-type modules? and also that DeleGate just ignores all pam-modules that are not auth-type?! What can I do then? I mean how can I grant access only to users of definite group? pam_require (account type) and pam_group (session type) and pam_limits, pam_access (both session type) could not help me, could they?!! Well, I just could add, that I use Red Hat Linux 6.0 and PAM-1.0, and wait for your help. Thanks a lot for listening to my problem.

If it is like "session >opened/closed", then it is not logged by DeleGate because DeleGate >use PAM just for the purpose of authentication (PAM category "auth"), >and does not use other features including "session" management. >Furthermore, DeleGate does not always refer PAM for each authentication. >It reuses authenticated user+pass pairs which are authenticated by PAM >(or other auth-server) in cache (in 180 seconds). > > | And 2.
