PAM for slackware

These are the hackings on Linux-PAM integreation to Slackware Linux.
To date it has just keep up with the -current development branch.

As of 2019-11-02 updates and testing have continued.

It is almost like this has been 10yrs in the works.

Overview:

This is the addition of two packages (pam, cracklib), and the rebuild of a series of packages, to overhaul the authentication in Slackware Linux, using Linux-PAM

Instruction:

There are NOTES.txt and README in the root directory, along with a couple of scripts
crafted up for my use. The directories a/, ap/, kde/, l/, n/ and xap/ are the source for the SlackBuilds.
The pkgs/ has Slackware packages for the -current development branch (i486 and x86_64).
To download, use lftp or rsync. You can download everything, or only the packages, if you are interested in helping debug these builds.

A scripty example of downloading and installing only for, could be:


mkdir -p ~/pam
cd ~/pam
lftp -c "open http://harrier.slackbuilds.org/~vbatts/pam/pkgs/; mirror ."
upgradepkg --install-new *.t?z
slackpkg new-config
