libpam-pwdfile for Debian
-------------------------

This module allows one to authenticate users using a passwd-like file.
Creating this file currently means either copying the relevant entries from
/etc/{passwd,shadow}, or using the chpwdfile utility (not yet packaged) from
http://eclipse.che.uct.ac.za/chpwdfile/.

Below is an example of a working /etc/pam.d/* configuration... specifically,
this is copy of my /etc/pam.d/qpopper.  Please note that the "account" entry
is required.

   auth       required     pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /etc/qpopper/qpopper.pwd
   account    required     pam_unix_acct.so
