The security system in Mandrake is based on Pluggable Authentication Modules 
(pam) and mandrake security tools (msec) 

file:/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Secure-Programs-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.6

file:/usr/share/doc/msec-0.15/msec.ps
discusses msec.

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/pam.html
