PAM and return of init_session ignored ?

Hi,

I'm developing a PAM module for/auth/  and/session/. When my module return PAM_AUTH_ERR
to sudoers, the command is not executed. But when the/session/  return PAM_SESSION_ERR,
the command is executed anyway. Why ?

However, in source code (sudo-1.8.10p3), a session error causes EXIT_FAILURE in parent before forking.
But the macro AUTH_FAILURE and AUTH_FATALdo not have the same value  (see the comments) :


(sudo/plugins/sudoers/auth/pam.c)

|sudo_pam_begin_session(struct passwd *pw, char **user_envp[], sudo_auth *auth)||
||{||
||	...||
	
||	if (def_pam_session) {
         *pam_status = pam_open_session(pamh, 0);
         if (*pam_status != PAM_SUCCESS) {   /* PAM_SUCCESS = 0 */
             (void) pam_end(pamh, *pam_status | PAM_DATA_SILENT);
             pamh = NULL;
             status = AUTH_FAILURE;  /* AUTH_FAILURE = 1 */
             goto done;
         }
     }

	...
	done:		
||  	    debug_return_int(status);||   /* return 1 */

I have not tried it with gdb yet...

To reproduce : (/etc/pam.d/sudo)
@include common-auth
@include common-account
session	required	pam_deny.so
@include common-session-noninteractive


If it's normal, why ? And how can I stop sudo to not run the command when/session/  return PAM_SESSION_ERR ?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
