Linux-PAM is a free implementation of the DCE-RFC 86.0 from Sunsoft. The main site of the Linux-PAM development can be found on www.kernel.org. Basically, PAM is a flexible mechanism for authenticating users. PAM provides a way to develop programs that are independent of authentication scheme. These programs need "authentication modules" to be attatched to them at run-time in order to work. Which authentication module is to be attatched is dependent upon the local system setup and is at the discretion of the local system administrator. |

There are some german slides about Linux and PAM as StarOffice presentation from the LinuxTag 2000 in Stuttgart, Germany. There is also a online version. |
