# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| linux-pam: Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux linux-pam: linux-pam: Linux-PAM is a free implementation of the sun RFC for solaris. linux-pam: Basically, it is a flexible mechanism for authenticating users. linux-pam: PAM provides a way to develop programs that are independent of linux-pam: authentication scheme. These programs need "authentication modules" linux-pam: to be attatched to them at run-time in order to work. Which linux-pam: authentication module is to be attatched is dependent upon the local linux-pam: system setup and is at the discretion of the local system administrator. linux-pam: linux-pam: Packaged by Gufo
