(now we are getting networked apps, be careful to try and test on a
securely isolated system!)

N=2 <-- blank xsh

Following a 'make install' (which should be done as root) in the
parent directory this directory will contain $N binaries. The source
for these programs is in ../examples. They are various short programs
to use and otherwise test-drive the Linux-PAM libraries/modules with.

These programs grant no privileges, but they give an idea of how well
the modules are working.

blank is new as of Linux-PAM-0.21. If you are writing/modifying an
application it might be a place to start...

xsh is new as of Linux-PAM-0.31, it is identical to blank, but invokes
/bin/sh if the user is authenticated.

[other apps are to be found in SimplePAMApps and many more on Red
Hat's server.. http://www.redhat.com/pam]

Best wishes

su (which comes with Linux-PAM-0.32) is a reasonably robust Linux-PAM
'su' program, to work it must be installed setuid root (this is
accomplished by the 'make install' command) ['su' is basically
completely finished, please email any bugs to me or the list if you
find any in this application. It is likely to find its way into a
public release!]

passwd (updated as of -0.33) is hopefully robust, but since 0.32 it
has become marginally incompatable with all of the existing
modules.. alas, such is the nature of progress!

rlogind (new with .33 -- courtesy of Al Longyear) as with everything
please test it--definitely alpha.

passwd (new as of -0.32) is hopefully robust. It has been
stress-tested with the pam_stress module... As of -0.32 there is no
real module that can make use of it, but it should be useful from the
point of view of developing one.
