Sorry fellas,

Being in the expert bucket I figured you guys would "see" it. ... and if you execute the script I provided you will see that it actually works and the desired output is shown. No mind reading necessary !

I am trying to remove the "(" and the ")" from var without using an external command in a single step.

PAM_EXEC(8)							 Linux-PAM Manual						       PAM_EXEC(8)

NAME
pam_exec - PAM module which calls an external command SYNOPSIS
pam_exec.so [debug] [expose_authtok] [seteuid] [quiet] [log=file] command [...] DESCRIPTION
pam_exec is a PAM module that can be used to run an external command. The child's environment is set to the current PAM environment list, as returned by pam_getenvlist(3) In addition, the following PAM items are exported as environment variables: PAM_RHOST, PAM_RUSER, PAM_SERVICE, PAM_TTY, PAM_USER and PAM_TYPE, which contains one of the module types: account, auth, password, open_session and close_session. Commands called by pam_exec need to be aware of that the user can have controll over the environment. OPTIONS
debug Print debug information. expose_authtok During authentication the calling command can read the password from stdin(3). log=file The output of the command is appended to file quiet Per default pam_exec.so will echo the exit status of the external command if it fails. Specifying this option will suppress the message. seteuid Per default pam_exec.so will execute the external command with the real user ID of the calling process. Specifying this option means the command is run with the effective user ID. MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
All module types (auth, account, password and session) are provided. RETURN VALUES
PAM_SUCCESS The external command was run successfully. PAM_SERVICE_ERR No argument or a wrong number of arguments were given. PAM_SYSTEM_ERR A system error occurred or the command to execute failed. PAM_IGNORE pam_setcred was called, which does not execute the command. EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/passwd to rebuild the NIS database after each local password change: password optional pam_exec.so seteuid /usr/bin/make -C /var/yp This will execute the command make -C /var/yp with effective user ID. SEE ALSO
