It includes the correct buildlink3.mk file from either Linux-PAM
(security/PAM) or OpenPAM (security/openpam) and eventually will
support solaris-pam. pam.buildlink3.mk will:
* set PAMBASE to the base directory of the PAM files;
* set PAM_TYPE to the PAM implementation used.
There are two variables that can be used to tweak the selection of
the PAM implementation:
PAM_DEFAULT is a user-settable variable whose value is the default
PAM implementation to use.
PAM_ACCEPTED is a package-settable list of PAM implementations
that may be used by the package.
Modify most packages that include PAM/buildlink3.mk to include
pam.buildlink3.mk instead.
Set PAM_RHOST to value of TCPREMOTEIP, which is set by
tcpserver. Thanks to dean gaudet.
Use service name in syslog instead of hard-coded
'checkpassword-pam' value. Thanks to dean gaudet.
New command-line option -H/--no-chdir-home: do not chdir to
user home directory. Useful in a specific case when home
directories are automounted, but mail is being delivered to a
central location. Thanks to Christian Hudon.
Updated to Autoconf 2.59 and Automake 1.7.9.
checkpassword-pam is an implementation of checkpassword-compatible
authentication program.
checkpassword-pam was written from scratch. There are several older
packages called checkpassword-pam, derived from DJB's checkpassword
code. This checkpassword-pam is more modern and administrator-friendly.
