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.
