The Debian package suggests this approach, and provides snippets for setting up PAM that way. I notice that you are upstream author of this plugin, so I guess you are biased towards using your own implementation. May I suggest that at least you mention in long description how access to sensitive material is handled? For inspiration, libapache2-mod-authnz-external contains this: > Notably, this module can be used to securely authenticate against PAM > (without exposing /etc/shadow file), using, for example, pwauth > authenticator. Mentioning in long description how security is addressed will help users decide which approach to take. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
