Apache/AuthPAM version 0.01
===========================
We used to use PAM within CGI programs, written in perl and CGI.pm,
so I freed the ugly script logon process and put the authentication
job within apache.
It is working with RedHat Linux 7.2, apache-1.3.22-6, perl-5.6.1-26.72.3,
mod_perl-1.26-2 and Authen::PAM-0.13. It is a friendly environment,
I haven't test it within a hostile one. Let me know if it works
with something that is not a PC.
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL

BUGS
Apache::AuthPAM is running as the same user mod_perl is running
(on RedHat Linux it is apache). It is running without privileges.
I am working a revision using an auxiliar suid process.
