-* Makefile.standalone-0.95 and pam-pwdfile.spec were contributed by Jason F.
- McBrayer <jason@xeran.com>. You can use these for building RPMs of
- pam_pwdfile; you should also be able to use the Makefile to build
- pam_pwdfile on other platforms _without_ the Linux-PAM hierarchy.
-
-* warwick_duncan-cyrus_without_system_accounts.txt is a short explanation by
- Warwick Duncan on how to get Cyrus IMAPD + pam_pwdfile to work WITHOUT
- having to create system accounts for IMAPD users.
-
-* Makefile.standalone was contributed by Gerald Richter and should be more
- up to date than Makefile.standalone-0.95. The primary difference is that
- Gerald's Makefile also takes into account the new md5 code.

-Summary: A PAM module that allows users to authenticate on htpasswd-type files separate from /etc/passwd.
-Name: pam-pwdfile
-Version: %{ver}
-Release: 1
-Copyright: LGPL
-Group: System Environment/Base
-Source0: %{nam}-%{ver}.tar.gz
-Source1: pam-pwdfile-Makefile.standalone
-URL: http://cpbotha.net/pam_pwdfile.html
-Distribution: Xeran Internal Packages
-Vendor: Xeran Technologies
-Packager: Jason F. McBrayer <jason@xeran.com>
-BuildRoot: /var/tmp/%{nam}-%{ver}-root
-BuildPrereq: pam
-Requires: pam
-
-%description
-This pam module can be used for the authentication service only, in cases
-where one wants to use a different set of passwords than those in the main
-system password database. E.g. in our case we have an imap server running,
-and prefer to keep the imap passwords different from the system passwords
-for security reasons.

-I've got it working with cyrus 2.0 and 2.1, so I'll give some pointers
-on both. When I say `cyrus x' I mean cyrus imapd version x and
-whichever version of sasl you need with it.
-
-Cyrus 2.0
----------
-
-- sasl must be configured with `--with-pam --enable-plain'; it doesn't
- hurt to add `--disable cram --disable-digest'
-- imapd must be configured with `--with-auth=unix' (sounds like you got
- that right)
-- in imapd.conf you need the line
- sasl_pwcheck_method: PAM
-- in /etc/pam.d/imap (on FreeBSD I believe you use /etc/pam.conf, but
- the idea is similar) you need
- auth required pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /path/to/passwordfile
- account required pam_permit.so
-- make sure your password file is readable by user cyrus
-
-The idea of all this is to use the SASL PLAIN mechanism to get the
-password in plaintext and then get SASL to leave the authentication to
-PAM, which will use pam_pwdfile.
-
-Cyrus 2.1
----------
-
-- same as above, but different ;) in the details
-- sasl must be configured with `--with-pam --with-saslauthd
- --enable-plain' and I disable the rest (checkapop, digest, otp, krb4,
- etc.)
-- imapd should be configured with `--with-auth=unix'
-- in imapd.conf you need the line
- sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
-- start up saslauthd with `saslauthd -a pam'
-- you need the /etc/pam.d/imap as above, as well as (an identical)
- /etc/pam.d/sieve if you use timsieved
-
-I think that about covers it. One tricky bit with SASL is to get the
-right mechanisms advertised; I do this by only compiling in support for
-PLAIN and LOGIN. If the rest don't exist they can't cause problems.
