APM -> Pluggable Authentication Modules, a fairly vaguley-defined (OSF-RFC 86.0) architecture that provides for a unified set of authentication rules using a configuration file and a pile of loadable modules. It's late and I'm not describing it well. Go here : http://parc.power.net/morgan/Linux-PAM/index.html This is the implementation that RedHat use. Sun have their own implementation coming in Solaris 2.6 (2.5 used a primitive version of it). HP and others used it as a CDE component. I have the library and most of the modules building OK on FreeBSD (Rule 1: throw out their stupid Makefiles), and will try to do some testing soon. I can bundle it for playing-with if people are keen. > Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
