I did update the PAM patch from the contrib area to work with jabber-1.4.2 and I seem to remember emailing it to Peter Saint-Andre so he could include it at: http://download.jabber.org/contrib/. Guess it never made it. I still have it available on my site though:
http://www.snoogans.co.uk/jabber/files/jabber-1.4.2-pam.README http://www.snoogans.co.uk/jabber/files/jabber-1.4.2-pam.tar.gz Although I then went on to provide a better authentication mechanism for Jabber using the official XDB "check" Authentication method as described at: http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/1.4/142changelog.html You can download the code at: http://www.snoogans.co.uk/jabber/index.htm#xdb_auth_cpile It also supports IMAP, LDAP, MYSQL, PAM, POP3, RADIUS and SMB authentication. I did hear a rumour that xdb_auth_cpile was going to be mentioned in the jabber docs, but not sure. Thanks, Chris Pile.
