It's not very elegant, but the quick and dirty solution is to use sudo

probably you had not yet read that far in this thread, but I already wrote that sudo does not work when called from pam_exec.

To get the stderr and stdout results of sudo, I wrote a shell script wrapper around it, and the results are (maybe because sudo itself uses PAM?):

sudo: unable to change to root gid: Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

Someone wrote that he assumes that pam_exec ignores the setuid-bit in the file permissions, but that is obviously wrong, as this whole thread is about why lvcreate, when being called from my setuid-root-binary, has permission problems though all three (real, effective and saved) UIDs are 0 (and of course I checked that they really are 0).

Regards
