Citadel/UX 5.53 and later include support for Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM.) However, we don't recommend enabling this feature (./configure --with-pam) unless you understand exactly how it will affect your system's security. Specifically, the system administrator must supply a configuration for every authentication service which uses PAM. We have automated this process for Linux by supplying a file which is placed in /etc/pam.d during the installation process, but not on other systems, for 2 reasons: 1) Other systems don't have /etc/pam.d; instead they use one big configuration file, usually /etc/pam.conf. It's not quite as trivial to automatically modify this file in a safe and secure fashion. 2) Other systems have a different set of available authentication modules; they are likely to lack all three of the ones we use in the Linux configuration. We don't have enough information about the features of the authentication modules on other platforms to be able to provide secure configurations. That said, the configuration we've provided should work on at least Red Hat Linux 4.2-5.2, (although we don't recommend building Citadel/UX on Red Hat 4.x due to libc thread-safety issues) and if you understand PAM configuration on your system, feel free to build Citadel/UX with PAM support, as long as you realize that YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
