$Id: TODO,v 1.10 1997/02/15 19:30:51 morgan Exp morgan $ Here are some things to think about if you are interested in contributing to the Linux-PAM effort. 1. If you have a suggestion mail the pam-list! 2. TODO: Comments ----- -------- [modules] pam_time should log an error if it denies access. pam_smartcard?? It has already started to happen. (Alex Yuriev has a smart-card module...) pam_floppy?? A alternative login mechanism might involve authenticating with a personal specially formatted floppy!? (got to make some use of all those strange Linux incompatible floppies I keep getting from ISPs ;^) pam_??? If you are interested in another type of authentication method--just make a module! If you want it registered/some help, email the list. [misc] SVGA & X-conv Currently, libpam-misc contains a text-only conversation function. A graphical one, for X or SVGA would be very welcome, [Ben Buxton is working on an X one (as of 1996/12/1)] applications like xlock etc.. would benefit from this. Issues that need to be resolved: -------------------------------- - can we support the use_mapped_pass flag without running into problems with ITAR rules? [this problem is likely to mutate. The DCE-RFC people are considering the addition of a mapping module type - one that other modules can use to safely store passwords...] - anyone know where someone to email for FREE legal advice/support? ----------- Comments to (administrative requests to use Subject: help ) ----------- Andrew Morgan . http://linux.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/index.html
