: Yes, sort of. Poor man's RADIUS, I'd say ;-)
:
: And then there's RFC 2222 (and a bunch of others, I guess). The
: problem is that the [*x] community could not yet agree upon a
: commonly supported method (i.e. one that you find in every
: distribution - some use shadow, others use ldap, then there's PAM,
: squid again rolls its own methods... hasn't there yet a
: standardizable method emerged that is simple and secure enough to be
: accepted everywhere? Would make *much* easier... so for an
: application the only thing is a call to, say, auth_user () and
: that's it. I know, PAM does something similar, but I'd prefer some
: RFC-backed solution...
You might mean something like bsd_auth:
