Description

OpenPAM is an open source PAM library that focuses on simplicity, correctness, and cleanliness. OpenPAM aims to gather the best features of Solaris PAM, XSSO and Linux-PAM, plus some innovations of its own. In areas where these implementations disagree, OpenPAM tries to remain compatible with Solaris, at the expense of XSSO conformance and Linux-PAM compatibility. This OpenPAM port uses the FreeBSD sources.
