how to make a auth module inplace of PAM?

[frederick van tagero]

I like PAM, however what i doing now is embedlinux, critical in resource comsuming, so I want a mothod to replace the PAM, only simpfied auth by one text file.

I search in the SysVinit(Redhat), and init.c,main.c, can not find any tips about how to replace the PAM, who can help me.

Appeciate for any tips.

Best regards,
Fredeirck

You can build shadow package without PAM support.

./configure --without-libpam

Perhaps various embedded linux pages have something even simpler.

I remember reading a very nice article about stripping unneeded functionality from programs for using them in embedded devices. Unfortunatelly I don't remember the URL ;). But I'm sure google will find it.

Im not sure what linux your running, but Redhat has a embeded program as well as toolkits ant API's available. Try there.
