A question for the fedora folks: in terms of libraries, what should I use in pam modules for: a) string processing & manipulation support (glib?) b) Network access (specifically HTTP and HTTPS) c) Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Some have multiple implementations and I'm wondering if there are any that are considered a "core" part of any Fedora installation. By "core", I really just mean something that's most likely to be installed by even the most stripped-down version of Fedora. -- Richi Plana On Thu, 2007-11-08 at 09:01 -0700, Richi Plana wrote: > On Thu, 2007-11-08 at 06:50 -0500, Neal Becker wrote: > > It seems that openid is moving along.
