I have uploaded the initial release of libpam to chiark. There is also a copy available on ftp://ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/people/patrick/debian.
The libpam package contains the PAM libraries (PAM = Pluggable Authentication Modules [http://gluon.physics.ucla.edu/~morgan/pam http://www.redhat.com/pam]). The current libraries have an experimental nature: the main logic is OK, but only a limited set of underlying authentication modules is available for the moment (other modules are under development). However, the libraries are stable enough to start making application programs (authentication clients) PAM aware. I am releasing this package now, because I think that it's now the time to consider making applications PAM aware: development is currently accellerating, and RedHat is PAM-ifying some authentication clients for their next release. As a consequence we can use the same or similar diffs for most of our applications. If you would PAM-ify your application, please join the Linux-PAM mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Date: 04 Aug 96 06:53 UT Format: 1.6 Distribution: unstable Urgency: Low Maintainer: Patrick Weemeeuw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: libpam Version: 0.50-1 Binary: libpam Architecture: i386 source Description: libpam: Pluggable Authentication Modules -- Libraries Changes: initial release Files: 977e5542dd94866ba6030457035f6017 265966 - libpam_0.50-1.tar.gz 1cebc86544ded0b5d67cdd2abbb10a40 107224 - libpam_0.50-1.diff.gz 8cee7a269c830e413b207b1a43ef4978 224980 misc extra libpam_0.50-1_i386.deb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQEVAwUBMgRJxugIvbi48kGNAQH1Vgf9GFUBTVE42+gCltXTCyzsa3k1zJtWAHJA //fCKKr9Jk1wFNNXhZkE14ayNU4dbLSJK9LXnOJsGKMT53qfVUrDsgl9GeIvgfLx lcMBblxCWqmYaPWgKCzmcBF3X8/n/wuezPTMQJvxS/7ILoqZiuES1Hm5HNRS48pj ejEzXj6yJGmsWZQ901kY40tz6lUEL9K1wvYZERXFf/Zbt9tWN6MV5w/K9nKF8O4b NyVfgbrdoNG3tA4yHCfUoZebCbc9N+EoSNPjjv9E0qIIleJUAThi8bbm1k3u9RoJ IDpZv01FglO4mA/uOC99MVSxhTAvFIZVgb9zJJ7DPZPx3z1QLkg2FQ== =3/QK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
