linux-pam: Linux-PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux) linux-pam: linux-pam: Linux-PAM is a library that enables the local system administrator linux-pam: to choose how individual applications authenticate users. linux-pam: The purpose of the Linux-PAM project is to liberate the development linux-pam: of privilege granting software from the development of secure and linux-pam: appropriate authentication schemes. This is accomplished by linux-pam: providing a documented library of functions that an application linux-pam: may use for all forms of user authentication management. This linux-pam: library dynamically loads locally configured authentication linux-pam: modules that actually perform the authentication tasks. linux-pam: linux-pam: Packaged by Georgi D. Sotirov
