Behaviour of OpenSSH while login as root and non-root account

[gaurav gupta]

 Hello Friends,

I am writing a PAM module for SSH to enforce one more layer of
authentication. For that I need terminal ID in close_session() and
pam_sm_setcred() function in PAM module while OpenSSH hardcoded it "ssh". I
made few changes in OpenSSh code so it can set terminal ID properly. These
changes were :

added do_pam_set_tty() in session_pty_req(Session *s) function in session.c
and added do_pam_set_tty() in mm_pty_allocate() function in monitor_wrap.c

It works fine for root and I get appropriate tty in pam_sm_cred() and
pam_sm_close_session() function.

But using same code, when I try to ssh through a non root account I am
getting tty in pam_sm_close_session() but not in pam_sm_cred(). I am not
sure why ssh is behaving differently for root and non-root accounts.

Is there anything which triggers SSH behavior for root and non-root accounts
or can anyone suggest me what can be wrong here. I have no idea how can I
proceed and it would be great if someone can give me some pointers.
