using hook for client_check_cb

[David K. Sayre]

Hello all,

I am new to hybrid, and somewhat new to IRC in general. Let me give a  
short background, just in case there is a better solution that I  
haven't found yet.

I am working on putting up a local IRC, and I want to have some sort  
of authentication. We already have a working authentication system  
with token cards. Ideally I would like to use this through kerberos,  
or radius. So my initial thought was to hook on client_check_cb, and  
use PAM authentication. I got this idea from a posting to the message  
board relating to using mysql to authenticate.

So I tried a couple different things, and can verify if you are using  
a valid password or not, but I always segfault right after I  
authenticate, so I kept cutting down the code, and even this segfaults:

void *pam_auth(va_list args)
{
         struct Client *source_p = va_arg(args, struct Client *);
         const char *username = va_arg(args, const char *);

	return source_p;
}

If I return NULL, it denies access as expected, and doesn't crash. I  
am guessing that I am responsible  for setting something in the  
Client structure that I am not setting. I looked through s_conf.c a  
bit, but I was wondering if someone could tell me what I am  
responsible for setting, or point me at a simpler example.

Thanks,
