Hi I am looking through PAM manual but i could not find some details... Can i have a single password like the user password to authenticate my all applications.... I mean i am going to have three services HTTP FTP and SSH running on my system... I want to use PAM for authentication purpose... this is for CVS.... but i want to configure it for FTP also... DO I need to use the ftP passwords and cvs passwords seperately... or can i have a centralised authentication mechanism using PAm and authenticate these services using the user password in linux... pls let me know THank you for everything Rohan _________________________________________________________ Click below to visit monsterindia.com and review jobs in India or Abroad http://monsterindia.rediff.com/jobs
