Has anyone been seriously looking into building in PAM support in eLog? I ask because I have started reading the developer papers from Sun and looking at sample code.


Not really. I have two big issues higher on my list: XML database format and multithreaded HTTP server. From having a quick look to PAM, I was not sure how easy this would be to implement. If it's not too difficult, it could move higher in the priority list.



Tell you what, I'm looking at two items related to eLog -- tell me to stop if you want:

  • forkpty() emulation for Solaris
  • PAM support

I'm furthur ahead on the forkpty() - just trying to figure out exactly where to place the code. Once I know it works then I can give it to you to incorporate. Unless you want what I have now and you can work on it.

I've also got quite a bit of reference code for PAM support. A little more daunting.
