Download the source and find out. > Also is it a good idea to implement AES instead of crypt() ? No. password hashing function are a mix of different things, see the response of Solar for that. > I have enough C knowledge and a C compiler :) but not familiar with linux kernel. The kernel doesn't know authentication. It just has a knowledge of uid and gid's. Authentication is a task of the program / daemon performing tge authentication. > I have searched many sites and found some patches which adds AES support to > linux kernel but my goal is using AES as default, Like I said : The kernel doesn't know, and doesn't care. > in REDHAT 8.2 there are some DOCS about PAM and PAM editing but it is not > enough for me. Read the sources and the docs that come with PAM. They provide all the info you need. > Would you please suggest me some docs,sites or books related to this subject?
