Pam

hey guys
newbie here!
i needed to know how to use PAM to authenticate users for
a specific program that i have made. i've written up the needed
config file in
/etc/pam.d ( i'm running a RH9 machine ). Where do i go from here?

Thanks for your help

RTFM?

On my (Suse) box it's at /usr/share/doc/packages/pam/html but in case RedHat
didn't install it on your machine, you could try:

The best doc I 've ever seen is in :
/usr/share/doc/pam-0.75/ (on my RH 9 box)

not on the web. Amazing !

A quick and good example is in vsftpd (on its examples)
