Hi Steve Thanks for the email But steve according to my knowledge kerberos needs a clock synchronization i mean we need to install the clock synchronization software in the machine which we use to connect.... Now the remote user may log in thru diff computer / network ..and then for syschronization he needs to have that s/w installed Is it true? My goal is to allow people work on my code by logging in to my system and checking out code using cvs connecting using SSH and i need a authorization right??? please let me know I Appreciate your help Thanks once again Rohan On Wed, 29 May 2002 Steve Langasek wrote : >On Wed, May 29, 2002 at 02:35:20PM -0000, Rohan Bairat wrote: > > Hi Friends, > > I am new to these technologies and i want to study about PAM >in > > detail ..... > > > I want to allow remote users to connect to my machine for >FTP > > CVS--using SSH and mail... > > > Can any one please suggest me good document to read ....which >has > > information about PAM stuff and how to configure it for >above > > mentioned services.... > > > Is kerberos a better authentication technique?????? > >Kerberos and PAM address two different aspects of system >security. >PAM's goal is to provide a flexible system, with Kerberos as just >one of >the available authentication backends; Kerberos seeks security an >single >sign-on capabilities with a unified system.
