Authen/SimplePam
================
Authen::SimplePAM simplifies the use of PAM
to authenticate users, so that there is no need to
know how PAM really works.
Refer to the pod documentation
INSTALLATION

perl Makefile.PL
make

Note that make test won't work.
PROGRAMS
There are a few scripts in the bin/ dir.
They are simple programs that might be a start point on
how to use Authen::SimplePam.
auth_user.pl - authenticates a user.
checks if the user password is correct.
change_password.pl - change a user's password.
probably will only work as root.
chngpwd - an script to change a user password.
this script needs to be run suid.
It was written to let a non-root user change
any user password as long as he knows the current
password.
A directly use for it is as a tool to be used from
a CGI script to change a user password thru web.
I tryed to make it as secure as possible, however
I do not garantee anything.
