1OpenPAM is an open source PAM library that focuses on simplicity, 2correctness, and cleanliness. 3 4OpenPAM aims to gather the best features of Solaris PAM, XSSO and 5Linux-PAM, plus some innovations of its own. In areas where these 6implementations disagree, OpenPAM tries to remain compatible with 7Solaris, at the expense of XSSO conformance and Linux-PAM 8compatibility. 9 10These are some of OpenPAM's features: 11 12 - Implements the complete PAM API as described in the original PAM 13 paper and in OSF-RFC 86.0; this corresponds to the full XSSO API 14 except for mappings and secondary authentication. Also 15 implements some extensions found in Solaris 9. 16 17 - Extends the API with several useful and time-saving functions. 18 19 - Performs strict checking of return values from service modules. 20 21 - Reads configuration from /etc/pam.d/, /etc/pam.conf, 22 /usr/local/etc/pam.d/ and /usr/local/etc/pam.conf, in that order; 23 this will be made configurable in a future release. 24 25Please direct bug reports and inquiries to des@freebsd.org. 26 27$Id: README 320 2006-02-16 20:33:19Z des $ 28
