Here are some things to think about if you are interested in
contributing to the Linux-PAM effort.
1. If you have a suggestion mail the pam-list!
2. TODO: Comments
----- --------
[modules]
pam_time should log an error if it denies access.
pam_smartcard?? It has already started to happen. (Alex Yuriev has a
smart-card module...)
pam_floppy?? A alternative login mechanism might involve
authenticating with a personal specially
formatted floppy!? (got to make some use of
all those strange Linux incompatible floppies
I keep getting from ISPs ;^)
pam_??? If you are interested in another type of
authentication method--just make a module!
If you want it registered/some help, email the
list.
[misc]
SVGA & X-conv Currently, libpam-misc contains a text-only
conversation function. A graphical one,
for X or SVGA would be very welcome,
[Ben Buxton is working on an X one (as of
1996/12/1)] applications like xlock
etc.. would benefit from this.
Issues that need to be resolved:
--------------------------------
- can we support the use_mapped_pass flag without running into problems
with ITAR rules? [this problem is likely to mutate. The DCE-RFC
people are considering the addition of a mapping module type - one
that other modules can use to safely store passwords...]
- anyone know where someone to email for FREE legal advice/support?
