The pam system's administrator guide is very helpful. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/Linux-PAM_SAG.html The module pages and some general pam information are available as man pages. See pam(8) and pam_unix(8). The pam_unix page even has a usable example configuration. That said, pam is pretty complex. What has helped me besides reading the documentation is looking at the configuration on the big distros. Since they're distributing to a wide variety of users and settings, they usually have a secure but usable setup. If you have another system around (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.), take a look at their login and passwd settings. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
