unable to make pam use howdy

[arthur19q3]

i installed howdy and passed the howdy test successfully, the snapshot function works perfectly too, and then i added the following line to the top of /etc/pam.d/sudo file

auth sufficient pam_python.so /lib/security/howdy/pam.py but sudo still then asks passwd all the time.

anyone has a clue?

Hello, did you figure it out ? I think I have the same issue

probably check your Python version and if it is compatible with what's written there in the python script. sorry mate I am sure you could solve this one way or another but it's been a while and my memory's a bit vague.

It's ok, I figured it out, I had to modify some python file. It was another issue, don't remember which. Thanks :)

care to share what did the trick? we occasionally need to hop between distros in our company and Howdy would interestingly trigger different errors when it doesn't work out of box.I recall it's usually something to do with the version though.

Sure the fix for me was this one : https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy/issues/785#issuecomment-1533002545
