Does it work? :) I ported the Linux-PAM kit a while back, and tracked it for a few months. I cooled off on PAM while watching the significant problems that the PAM people faced trying to get things like pppd to fit into the framework. I'd hesitate to recommend PAM as a generalised solution to the authentication issue, but if you are happy with a subset solution, re-porting it is basically a matter of rewriting their Makefiles (which are hopelessly Linux-centric). I may have a copy of my old work around here (but I have lost a lot of stuff recently), or you may be able to find it from someone else that downloaded it while it was generally available. You would face some work updating to current versions. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
