Howdy doesn't work with PAM but works as sudo howdy test #926

Closed TheHighGroundWins closed 3 months ago

TheHighGroundWins commented 3 months ago

Installed from AUR. howdy used to work without much problems until recently with the deprecation of python2.

pam-python-git as well as pip install pam, both work with sudo howdy test.

pam file: auth sufficient pam_python3.so /lib/security/howdy/pam.py auth sufficient pam_python.so /lib/security/howdy/pam.py

both combinations were used with no success.

pam-python from aur fails to build.

I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Linux distribution (if applicable): Artix Linux

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): Howdy 2.6.1

please solve this problem

Now pam is finally invoked, and the pam configuration for howdy beta is working, even though I am using howdy-git.

auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_howdy.so

However, I am now having a different issue with unsupported image type which is another issue that is open. #928

If anyone is able to successfully add a model that is identified with sudo howdy test and sudo howdy list but receive a "No face model known" error when attempting to sudo, look to @slatyc's answer here.
