> Ranger currently uses shadow based authentication if configured for unix
> authentication. This way of authenticating is somewhat outdated as any recent
> Linux system (and many of the BSDs) have PAM available. PAM allows multiple
> authentication sources and also does authorization.
> Ranger should be able to use PAM for authentication
