Speaking of pam, when will it be fixed to support all the various service types? Or is that a do it yourself project? - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Well, if by service types you meant login, ftp, telnet, etc., then what needs to be done is to convert ftpd, telnetd, etc. to use PAM instead of doing their own authentication. For ftpd that will require a few relatively minor PAM module fixes having to do with the fact that FTP as viewed from the server is sort of an event-driven machine rather than an interactive conversation. That's what my near-term focus is on. If you instead meant things like support for RADIUS accounting, that's just waiting for somebody to come along and implement the necessary support in libradius and the corresponding PAM module.

Re: libpam related buildworld failures
No I meant service as in authentication types or tasks whatever ya call it. From the man page: PAM separates the tasks of authentication into four inde- pendent management groups: account management; authentica- tion management; password management; and session manage- ment. (We highlight the abbreviations used for these groups in the configuration file.) authentication works.. but everything else gives unresolved (or defined) symbols... so kdm, xdm, and samba don't work with pam on FreeBSD (well those are the ones I've tried). - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

No. I don't want/need radious support. kdm and samba only do password authentication AFAIK, why they don't use the auth method (or whatever) I don't know. They work without Radius and without Pam.. but that doesn't fix the underlying problem I'm going to work now. Gotta keep food on the table.
