Sam,

I will consult our engineer tomorrow, who informed me of the 'standard interface' and 
I will pass the details to you.

We have no intention of making any part of this propriatory - in fact, this was the 
whole idea of proposing pam since it would be open for anybody to use the module via a 
standard based interface. We also plan to make this module work with both MIT and 
CyberSafe Kerberos implementations from day 1 and not be dependnant on any propriatory 
libraries.

Thanks again for your help,
Tim.

Hi.  I'm a maintainer of a PAM implementation.  If this standard exists, it's rather 
poorly standardized.  Would you mind proposing what you plan to use?

Even if you consider parts of your solution proprietary, you have an interest in 
making the interface between the application and PAM public.
