There is a suid helper program in pam_unix, called unix_chkpwd. But for obvious reasons it only allows to check the password of the current user, which is in turn used by programs like gnome-screensaver to verify the password. It does not work for brute-forcing or checking any other user's password. -- Integrate nagios users with system ones https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
