This is a pam module which provides authentification against a file with contains username:crypted_password pairs. I wanted to make an own ebuild for this, but I had some problems with this. This module compiles just fine when I do: <code> ebuild /usr/portage/sys-libs/pam/pam-0.75-r11.ebuild unpack cd /var/tmp/portage/pam-0.75-r11/work/Linux-PAM-0.75/modules/ tar xzf /usr/portage/distfiles/pam_pwdfile-0.98.tar.gz #[2] ebuild /usr/portage/sys-libs/pam/pam-0.75-r11.ebuild merge </code> I.e. you just need to unpack in the modules directory in the pam-sources tree and then compile as normal. Is it possible to add a local useflag to future pam ebuild so that this step will be done? If this is not possible for security or whatever reason please give me a hint how an own ebuild could be made. TIA and bye Frank Benkstein. benkstein _AT_ gmx.de PS: The module is published under terms of GPL-2.

Is there anything going on with this bug? Greetings Frank Benkstein. woodchip@gentoo.org 2003-10-23 16:03:39 0000 pam_dotfile is in portage, which i think sounded familiar. might want to see if it gives you thr functionality you need. just a thought. benkstein@gmx.de 2003-10-23 21:50:24 0000 Thank you. But no it doesnt. I want to use pam_pwdfile with checkpassword-pam an the authenticated users do not even need to exist in the system database this way. With pam_dotfile they need an account and a home directory which is not what I want. robbat2@gentoo.org 2004-08-11 23:04:51 0000 In CVS as a seperate ebuild, sys-libs/pam_pwdfile.
