ngIRCd - Next Generation IRC Server

-- PAM.txt --
|
|
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd can optionally be compiled to use PAM, the Pluggable Authentication
|
|
Modules library, for user authentication. When compiled with PAM support,
|
|
ngIRCd will authenticate all users connecting to the daemon using the
|
|
configured PAM modules in an asynchronous child process.
|
|
|
|
To enable PAM, you have to pass the command line parameter "--with-pam" to
|
|
the "configure" script. Please see the PAM documentation ("man 7 pam") for
|
|
details and information about configuring PAM and its individual modules.
|
|
|
|
A very simple -- and quite useless ;-) -- example would be:
|
|
|
|
/etc/pam.d/ngircd:
|
|
auth required pam_debug.so
|
|
|
|
Here the "pam_debug" module will be called each time a client connects to
|
|
the ngIRCd and has sent its PASS, NICK, and USER commands.
|
|
|
|
Please note ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING:
|
|
|
|
All the PAM modules are executed with the privileges of the user ngIRCd
|
|
is running as. Therefore a lot of PAM modules aren't working as expected,
|
|
because they need root privileges ("pam_unix", for example)!
|
|
Only PAM modules not(!) requiring root privileges (such as "pam_pgsql",
|
|
"pam_mysql", "pam_opendirectory" ...) can be used in conjunction with ngIRCd.
