PAM is Pluggable Authentication Modules. It is a way of having a total
security API for Unix machines. Instead of passwords you can use tokens
such as smartcards to authenticate to PAM. Once you authenticate then you
can grant access to functions such as login, ftp, etc. I know of someone
on this list that has built a dumbmouse reader maybe they will get in
touch with you.
Thanks
