With the PAM framework (yes, I hope to have something usable out in a few days, if I can just get this &^$&*%$^ radar ready for a field trial), you would be able to supply a binary object (shared library) that could be used as part of the auth framework. I would hope that this would fall within their license requirements. If you're interested in this, or anyone else that'd like to work on integrating PAM with the current set of authetication consumers, let me know. Also, chase the Linux-PAM page at http://parc.power.net/morgan/Linux-PAM/index.html, as it's their code that I'm working with. > Andrzej Bialecki <abial@warman.org.pl> _) _) _)_) _)_)_) _) _) -- ]] 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.
