Re: Unable to break into a PAM module

   Thanks, that works too. Mind you, the SSH session is not properly started - I don't know why - but one can break into the relevant PAM module consistently.

This is because the SSH forks children processes, and gdb seems to unable to follow them properly. And, yes, I tried with the different 'set follow-*' commands in gdb.

For the next time, I suggest also trying "set detach-on-fork off",
and "set schedule-multiple on".
