I've been trying to set up a NetATalk server which needs to allow users to change their passwords. Since they shouldn't have telnet access to the server, I was hoping to make this work over the NetATalk system itself. My research has uncovered two ways to do this, either of which would work on Linux (I think) but I can't figure out how to get it to work with my much prefered OS (FreeBSD). Specifically, NetATalk's afpd program will let you change your password via shadow passwords or PAM. Does PAM in FreeBSD (3.3 is what I have installed on the server now) support session or password calls? The port of NetATalk had a patch to the etc/afpd/Makefile which implied that it didn't. The shadow password support in afpd causes it to include shadow.h. A quick "locate shadow.h" doesn't turn up this file. Can anyone help me figure out if its in FreeBSD and where I could find it or include it from? Alternately, if anyone knows a better way (or *any* way) to allow the NetATalk package to change passwords for users, please let me know. It would mean a great deal to me, as I've already dumped 3 weeks into getting this hardware to work with FreeBSD and RAID in order to avoid switching to Linux (which I know a lot less about).
