4 Thanks for downloading Linux-PAM.
8 How to use it is as follows:
10 ./configure --help | less
11 ./configure <your-options>
14 To make sure everything was compiled correct, run:
18 If a test failes, you should not continue to install this build.
20 Note, if you are worried - don't even think about doing the next line
21 (most Linux distributions already support PAM out of the box, so if
22 something goes wrong with installing the code from this version your
23 box may stop working..)
27 That said, please report problems to the bug reporting database
30 You can run additional checks after installing by executing
36 WARNING: Running "make xtests" can overwrite configuration data
37 or make the system insecure/unfunctional for a short time!
38 Backup all important data before!
40 If you do not wish to make the modules dynamically loadable, but
41 build a static libpam including all PAM modules, you have to call:
43 ./configure --enable-static-modules
45 In this case you cannot use pam_unix in the PAM config files instead you
46 have to use pam_unix_acct, pam_unix_auth, pam_unix_passwd and
49 To regenerate manual pages from the XML source files you need the
50 docbook-xsl stylesheets in version 1.69.1 or newer, older versions had
51 a bug which generates a broken layout.
