P A M _ U N I X 2    

This is yet another pam_unix2 module.

The advantages of this particular version are:

• Allows global configuration file for all options
• Can get passwords from secure NIS+ servers
• Sets secureRPC credentials
• Supports HP-UX password aging.
• Support of passwords with DES, bigcrypt, MD5 and blowfish encryption
• Usage of glibc NSS modules for flexible location of user data
• Allows changing of passwords in local files, NIS, NIS+ and LDAP (if pam_ldap is installed)
• On a NIS master server, passwords could be changed in the source files of NIS maps.

The module builds under Linux 2.x and requires glibc 2.1 or later.

Version 1.15 of pam_unix2 will abort if a user press Ctrl-D on login prompt.

Version 1.14 of pam_unix2 implements the nisdir option. This option allows the administrator to specify a directory, where the source passwd and shadow files for the NIS maps are. So the administrator can modify the data for NIS users with the standard passwd command, no need for the insecure yppasswd daemon.
