Thanks for the pointers. I am pleased to report that we have changed /etc/pam.d/ss5 from this:-
Code:
#%PAM-1.0
auth       include      system-auth
account    required     pam_nologin.so
auth       required     pam_wheel.so use_uid group=SocksUsers
account    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
session    optional     pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    include      system-auth
session    required     pam_loginuid.so

.... to this (grouping all the auth statements together too):-
Code:
#%PAM-1.0
auth       requisite	pam_succeed_if.so debug user ingroup socksusers
auth       include      system-auth
account    required     pam_nologin.so
account    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
session    optional     pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    include      system-auth
session    required     pam_loginuid.so

When we moved the rule up the order before the include statement, the use_uid meant that the rules were being applied to the account running the code, not the connecting user, i.e. it was testing the single account root for every connection.

Notes:-
  • I've set this to be requisite to just exit if the account does not have the required group.
  • I found that pam_succeed_if.so gave me the debug option for logging.
  • The pam_succeed_if.so also can be extended if multiple acceptance criteria were required.
  • The group appears to be case-insensitive, but shows as all lower case when running something like id rbatte1 | sed 's/) /)\n/g ; s/,/\n/g' | sort -nk1,1.5

I hope that this might be useful to someone else.

PAM_LOGINUID(8) 						 Linux-PAM Manual						   PAM_LOGINUID(8)

NAME
pam_loginuid - Record user's login uid to the process attribute SYNOPSIS
pam_loginuid.so [require_auditd] DESCRIPTION
The pam_loginuid module sets the loginuid process attribute for the process that was authenticated. This is necessary for applications to be correctly audited. This PAM module should only be used for entry point applications like: login, sshd, gdm, vsftpd, crond and atd. There are probably other entry point applications besides these. You should not use it for applications like sudo or su as that defeats the purpose by changing the loginuid to the account they just switched to. OPTIONS
require_auditd This option, when given, will cause this module to query the audit daemon status and deny logins if it is not running. MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session module type is provided. RETURN VALUES
PAM_SESSION_ERR An error occurred during session management. EXAMPLES
#%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_unix.so auth required pam_nologin.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so session required pam_loginuid.so SEE ALSO
