=========
       if (pam_get_item (pamh, PAM_RHOST, (const void **) &s) ==
PAM_SUCCESS && s != NULL) {
                remote_host_name = s;
                if (opt_debug) {
                        ck_pam_syslog (pamh, LOG_INFO, "using '%s' as
remote-host-name", remote_host_name);
                }
                is_local = FALSE;
        }
=========
Apr  3 20:16:54 pluto login[2615]: pam_ck_connector(login:session):
using '' as remote-host-name
Apr  3 20:16:54 pluto login[2615]: pam_ck_connector(login:session):
using 1000 as uid

=========

It seems, as if I get an empty s string instead of NULL.
Could this be, because the Debian/Ubuntu version of pam is still at 0.79?
My PAM programming skills are very limited so I'm only guessing here.

Works great. Enabling gives my a lot of output in /var/log/syslog.
Disabling works fine, too.
