[exim] Options for authenticating against /etc/shadow (PAM) without making exim suid root

2008-08-28 Thread Jaco van der Schyff
Hi there, What are my options to auth against /etc/shadow using PAM without giving exim too much priviledges? I currently have two options: chgrp exim /etc/shadow or write an external authenticator (which is suid root) that returns a true/false which I can evaluate in exim. Any other ideas? -
