14 files matching the pam prefix and 18 thing matching description. app-admin/pam_dotfile (Mail related) pam module to allow password-storing in $HOME/dotfiles app-crypt/pam_krb5 (Should of been put in sys-libs) Pam module for MIT Kerberos V app-vim/pam-syntax (Seems logical) vim plugin: PAM configuration syntax highlighting dev-perl/Authen-PAM (Seems logical) Interface to PAM library kde-base/kcheckpass (Seems logical) KDE pam client that allows you to auth as a specified user without actually doing anything as that user. kde-base/kdebase-pam (Seems logical) pam.d files used by several KDE components. kde-base/secpolicy (Not sure) KDE: Display PAM security policies net-libs/pam_ldap (Should of been sys-libs) PAM LDAP Module net-mail/checkpassword-pam (Seems logical) checkpassword-compatible authentication program w/pam support net-mail/poppassd_ceti (Seems logical) Password change daemon with PAM support net-misc/pam_smb (Should of been sys-libs) The PAM SMB module, which allows authentication against an NT server. net-www/mod_auth_pam (Seems logical) PAM authentication module for Apache sys-apps/pam-login (Seems logical not a lib but a program) Based on the sources from util-linux, with added pam and shadow features sys-libs/pam_mysql (Seems logical) pam_mysql is a module for pam to authenticate users with mysql sys-libs/pam_passwdqc (Seems logical) Password strength checking for PAM aware password changing programs sys-libs/pam_pwdfile (Seems logical) PAM module for authenticating against passwd-like files. sys-libs/pam_ssh_agent (Seems logical) PAM module that spawns a ssh-agent and adds identities using the password supplied at login sys-libs/pam_usb (Seems logical) A PAM module that enables authentication using an USB-Storage device (such as an USB Pen) through DSA private/public keys. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you really feel you must invalidate everybody else binary trees and adding a workload on others for your gain then go for it. But adding another category for what are clearly mostly system libraries does not make sense me in this case. So sorry I object to new category creation for PAM. -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
