I'm trying out linuxserver.io openssh-server. Its a lightweight openssh image and makes it easy to configure with public key and user name.
If I run it, ssh with public key auth, works as expected:
$ docker run --rm -d --name ac1 -e PUBLIC_KEY -e USER_NAME=dough lscr.io/linuxserver/openssh-server:latest
Now I want to use pam_exec to run a script on an ssh login event.
Interactively, in the ac1
container, I enable PAM in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
:
...
UsePAM yes
KbdInteractiveAuthentication no
...
and restart openssh server:
# s6-svc -r /run/service/openssh-server
But upon ssh from the host machine, the server appears to accept key authentication, but promptly closes the connection before starting a shell session:
$ ssh -vvv -i ~/.ssh/mykey -p 2222 dough@172.18.0.3
debug1: Server accepts key: /home/dough/.ssh/mykey RSA SHA256:tUHJFPJXyGdhe2poOnpbgDz1t6mhvpmSiRprMIJdFko explicit agent

debug3: send packet: type 50
Connection closed by 172.18.0.3 port 2222
On ac1
, in /config/logs/openssh/current
, it seems there's a problem with pam account management: "Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info":

I've tried creating a minimal /etc/pam.d/sshd.pam
with:
account include base-account
but no joy. Whether this file exists or not, the behaviour is the same.
Need some help here...
I'm stuck with the pam configuration to run pam_exec.
But the goal is to to run a hook script on an ssh login event. How can we do that?
