RFS: libpam-usb, PAM module allowing authentication via USB-Storage device
Hi Mentors,
I think this software could be useful. I'm looking for a sponsor.
This is an update of an old RFS. I'm still looking for a sponsor. Greets.
Description:
pam_usb is a PAM module that enables authentication using an
USB-Storage device (such as an USB Pen) through DSA private/public
keys.
It can also work with other devices, such as floppy disks or cdroms. It
can be setup to work with any application using PAM such as your system
login (login), your X login (XDM/KDM/GDM/...), your screensaver
(xscreensaver/...), and many others. It supports multiple users for
the same device, multiple hostnames for the same user, serial numbers
access list and private key encryption.
pam_usb comes along usbadm, a tool which helps managing users and keys.
In short you will be able to login by simply plugging on the USB pen
and entering your login name.
Package I made:
name: libpam-usb
license: GPL
