pshlogin
psh can be run in login mode by launching it from the name pshlogin. User credentials are read from /etc/passwd
file.
Additional user credentials can be passed using the PSH_DEFUSRPWDHASH environment variable defined at compile time.
PSH_DEFUSRPWDHASH should store only one hash of a password. Then one can also log in using:
- username: defuser
- password: (corresponding with given hash)
Exiting pshlogin
It is important to know that it is impossible to completely exit the psh which is launched as pshlogin. Using the
exit command or EOT character (ctrl+D) will only log out the user without ending the psh process.
