detect current PAM status

[cmeesters]

Hi,

Currently, when the plugin is in the environment, Snakemake will fail whenever the password is not given on the command line. However, the default auth scheme is PAM, if I am not mistaken. Hence, when an iinit command has been successfully performed, the password should not be required any more.

Defining the password in an env variable or on the command line [edit:] or in a plain text file [/edit] is not a good idea because this exposes it (classroom, office and every admin).

Or am I missing something, here?

Cheers
Christian
