There is an user package that deals with username and pwd via libc, and also works on FreeBSD. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

If no one comes up with a header translation you might simply try whether h2pas can convert the header files of libpam.

You can use the /etc/shadows and /etc/passwd files yourself, but that require you to implement the hashing algorithm for the password inside (depends on what the user/admin choose as local login). Processing these files does not allow you to utilize other mechanisms for authentication like fingerprint sensors or security keys which are supported by PAM. So implementing a PAM binding is the way to go. Regards, Sven ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

[fpc-pascal] How to use pam?
Hi, I need to authenticate user name and password under Linux. These are normal accounts so I guess "libpam" is the weapon of choice. But I can't find any pam binding in the FPC sources. Is there a better way or has really no one yet used pam with fpc? thanks, Mattias ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
