Bolke de Bruin commented on RANGER-842:
---------------------------------------
I'm a bit surprised that you are asking me. This header file is part of the Pam
devel package which is available in all Linux repos. So if you do not manage
the build system you might need to ask Apache Infra or maybe add it to Jenkins?

> 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 This way of authenticating is somewhat outdated as any recent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
