./security/pam-pwauth_suid, PAM authentication module for unprivileged users

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: pkgsrc-2018Q4, Version: 1.2nb1, Package name: pam-pwauth_suid-1.2nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

The pam_pwauth_suid authentication module uses a setuid program
to verify a password against the encrypted password in the
database used by the system. This way, an unprivileged user can
verify his own passsword stored in a shadow password database.
There might be some risk that the communication between the
invoking program and the setuid program is logged, or for abuse
for dictionary attacks.
