Hello!
|
|
|
|
Thanks for downloading Linux-PAM-0.65.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Before you begin:
|
|
|
|
* This distribution requires GNU's Make
|
|
* It requires GNU's C-compiler: gcc (and 'ld')
|
|
* it also requires the GNU shell: bash
|
|
* some of the modules require the presence of libpwdb see redhat
|
|
* two modules have some need for libcrack too..
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[
|
|
Zeroth (optional) thing to do: check the detatched "pgp" signature for
|
|
this distribution file, it should be signed by
|
|
|
|
Type Bits/KeyID Date User ID
|
|
pub 1024/2A398175 1996/11/17 Andrew G. Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org>
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
First thing to do (I assume you have successfully unpacked it!) is to
|
|
run:
|
|
|
|
make check [ requires md5sum to be present ]
|
|
|
|
This will also check that the distribution has arrived intact. [
|
|
Later, If you change some things, running this command from this
|
|
directory will show you what files you have altered. ]
|
|
|
|
If you choose to get and install the RCS files that accompany this
|
|
release, you may also run
|
|
|
|
make RCScheck
|
|
|
|
from this directory.
|
|
|
|
Next, you should check the symbolic link
|
|
|
|
.../Linux-PAM-X.YY/default.defs
|
|
|
|
points to the file that best describes your system. The various *.defs
|
|
files that are included in this distribution are to be found in the
|
|
directory:
|
|
|
|
.../Linux-PAM-X.YY/defs/
|
|
|
|
This should configure the distribution to compile on your system. The
|
|
default is the version I use for maintaining the distribution. [If you
|
|
don't find one that suits your needs, please try to create one, email
|
|
it to me and I will include it in a future release.]
|
|
|
|
If you are running an ELF based Linux system you should be able to
|
|
compile the distribution straight from the box. If you are running an
|
|
a.out based system, then some of the functionality of Linux-PAM will
|
|
be unavailable to you. Instead, you must switch the DYNAMIC variables
|
|
*off* in your "defs" file: comment out the DYNAMIC and DYNAMIC_LIBPAM
|
|
defines and uncomment the STATIC and STATIC_LIBPAM defines. NOTE, for
|
|
ELF based systems, almost any combination of these four definitions is
|
|
legal... If you have ELF, I recommend the default however.
|
|
|
|
Second, try to compile it. Use the following command in *this*
|
|
directory:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
[ or 'make all' if you prefer ]. The first time you type make, it is
|
|
likely to complain. This is to remind you to remove any libraries from
|
|
previous versions of the distribution that are likely to confuse this
|
|
make... Type 'make' again.
|
|
|
|
Before you do the third thing. You should think about whether you want
|
|
the default configuration scripts to be installed or not. If you have
|
|
a working PAM based system you probably do *not* want this.. Whatever,
|
|
before Linux-PAM installs the default scripts you will be prompted as
|
|
to whether it is a good idea. Be sure to say NO if you are worried!
|
|
** You have been warned. **
|
|
|
|
Third, to install the stuff you need to be root. Do the following:
|
|
|
|
su -c "make install"
|
|
|
|
If everything has worked as intended there should now be
|
|
|
|
some executables in ./bin/
|
|
some filters for pam_filter in /usr/sbin/pam_filter/
|
|
some configuration files:
|
|
/etc/pam.conf
|
|
/etc/security/*.conf
|
|
libpam_misc.a (static library) in /usr/lib/
|
|
|
|
In addition:
|
|
|
|
if dynamically linked:
|
|
|
|
libpam.so.XXX (shared library) in /usr/lib/
|
|
libpam_misc.so.XXX (shared library) in /usr/lib/
|
|
pam_*.so (modules) in /usr/lib/security/
|
|
|
|
if statically linked:
|
|
|
|
libpam.a (static library) in /usr/lib/
|
|
|
|
[These are the default directories that I use. Your own system may
|
|
differ as specified in your XXX.defs file.]
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
* The documentation, what there is of it, is in ./doc. I am only
|
|
including the sgml format source-files. But try to make .ps files
|
|
available from the above http address. To locally use these sgml files
|
|
you should have linuxdoc-sgml installed. Sorry, but I'm conserving net
|
|
bandwidth by only including sources!
|
|
|
|
* The source for each module is to be found in ./modules/XXX. If you
|
|
want to add a new one, make a directory like XXX for it. Add the name
|
|
(XXX) to MODDIRS in ./modules/Makefile and hopefully it will become
|
|
part of the overall make. Note, the Makefile in ./modules/ is now
|
|
smart enough to check if the directory is there before it changes into
|
|
it; If you want to start working on a module, send me its name and I
|
|
will add it to the "official" Makefile.. This way, you should be able
|
|
to insert your developing module into any new release, and not have to
|
|
worry at first about letting it out to the public. This may also give
|
|
other people some idea about whether a module is currently being
|
|
worked on or not.
|
|
|
|
* Currently, you have to 'make' binaries from this directory. 'make
|
|
clean', however, works in any directory that has a Makefile.
|
|
|
|
* Also, you can 'make remove' (as root) from *this* directory and it
|
|
will delete the various installed files dotted around the system. THIS
|
|
IS A VERY BAD IDEA IF YOUR SYSTEM DEPENDS ON PAM TO WORK!!!
|
|
|
|
* 'make sterile' does 'make remove' and then 'make extraclean', this
|
|
might be required if you are alternating your choice of
|
|
STATIC(_LIBPAM) and DYNAMIC(_LIBPAM) compilation. SEE COMMENT IN
|
|
UPPERCASE IN PARAGRAPH ABOVE!!!!
