I would advise you to have a good look at libpam. It is a library
of access and authentication methods with possible plugins. I haven't
tried it myself but it looks promising.

I take the liberty to forward one of the mails of the PAM mailing list
mentioning the work still to be done, together with who is working on
it. A lot of effort done there can be reused for Debian. E.g. a few
days ago, patches were posted for "PAM-ising" wu-ftpd. Some work is being
done on shadow support too.

Hi all,
Following a suggestion from Al Longyear (new to the Linux-PAM effort),
I have made a TODO list (it will be in -0.32).
I am including it below in case anyone has suggestions for
additions/modifications.
Regards
Andrew

The following list started life as a posting to the linux-pam@mit.edu
list from Ted Ts'o.
TODO: Comments
---- --------
[applications]
rlogind This may need to be split into an application
and a module..?
[modules]
pam_time some account management that authenticates users
based on who they are, when they log in, the
attitude of the sys-admin, the weather, ... !
pam_card?? In the long term it would be good to have another
(physical) means of authentication...
Smartcards etc., would be the eventual aim, but
perhaps a start in this direction would be to
authenticate with a personal specially
formatted floppy!? (got to make some use of
all those strange Linux incompatible floppies
I keep getting from ISPs ;)
pam_??? If you are interested in another type of
authentication method--just make a module!
If you want it registered/some help, email the
list.
