@ska@social.treehouse.systems If you want another example to look at: The PCDM-session program in TrueOS as-was, formerly known as PC-BSD, is also a PAM client. It presents a login dialogue box, and from that starts an X11 client logged in as the user chosen. It's run under xinit and dbus-launch. Take a deep breath before looking at the code. https://github.com/trueos/pcbsd/blob/master/src-qt5/PCDM/src/pcdm-xprocess.cpp#L257 #PCDM #PAM #OpenPAM #PCBSD
