pam_ssh on HP-UX

[Darren R. Lauser]

Hello,

I see that some other flavors of UNIX, etc. have pam_ssh available. Has anyone tried it on HP-UX? I don't see it on the porting center.

Regards,
Darren

Shalom Darren,

pam for HP-UX accommodates secure shell, ssh, which works after installation of secure shell.

Given that, could you elaborate on your question, because I think the OS and two add in packages handle it.

See http://software.hp.com search for pam and secure shell

Hi Steven,

When PAM and SSH are installed on HP-UX, then you can configure SSH to use various PAM modules for authentication. I am interested in just the opposite. The pam_ssh package would allow PAM to use SSH keys as an authentication method.

For example, you could configure PAM to allow sudo to use SSH keys instead of just passwords.
