In areas where these +implementations disagree, OpenPAM tries to remain compatible with +Solaris, at the expense of XSSO conformance and Linux-PAM +compatibility. + +These are some of OpenPAM's features: + + - Implements the complete PAM API as described in the original PAM + paper and in OSF-RFC 86.0; this corresponds to the full XSSO API + except for mappings and secondary authentication. Also + implements some extensions found in Solaris 9. + + - Extends the API with several useful and time-saving functions. + + - Performs strict checking of return values from service modules. + + - Reads configuration from /etc/pam.d/, /etc/pam.conf, + /usr/local/etc/pam.d/ and /usr/local/etc/pam.conf, in that order; + this will be made configurable in a future release. + +Please direct bug reports and inquiries to des@freebsd.org. + +$Id: README 320 2006-02-16 20:33:19Z des $ |
