You can try contacting Vipin Samar at Sun ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to see
if you can get on the 2.6 beta program. Other then that, you might want
to track down the Linux free-PAM port and also look at the OSF DCE
RFC on PAM (86.0 if I recall correctly). I was also talking with someone
from Sun at the USENIX Security conference today and they thought
that a version of CDE with PAM in it was shipping. I'm not sure if
the programming interface is exposed in the CDE version or if they are
waiting for the 2.6 release. There will be a full set of PAM man pages
included with 2.6 as well as a sample PAM module. The Linux PAM project
might already have the PAM man pages...
