[Pam-mysql-general] improved pam_mysql - testers searched

[Florian V. <flo...@un...>]

Hi friendly friends of pam_mysql,


As I wrote a while ago, I'm doing a Bachelor project on pam_mysql.

Now that this project comes near to its end, I would like to:
- present it to you
- ask you to test it
- ask you to give some feedback / discussion / patches about it
  (feel free - it can't be worse than the last mail on this list (spam) :))

Its temporary homepage can be found @ :

     https://users.linuxbourg.ch/fvgoto/informatica/tbsc/welcome.php

 "Documentation and CVS access to 'pam_mysql(im)'"


Some features:
 - bugfixes
 - account management: checking for disabled accounts
 - conversion scripts: /etc/{passwd,shadow,group} to MySQL database, [Perl]
 - session logging: logging service, user, host, duration,... of each opened session
 - cleaned code 
 - splitted code into multiple files
 - automatic dependency generation/inclusion
 - options in external config files
 - support for NSS-mysql style options
 - config file / options shared with NSS-mysql
 - SSL secured connection between pam_mysql and MySQL server
 - support for MySQL version 4.1.x
 - 30 pages of tex/pdf/ps doc added

More to come:
 - fixed "where" option
 - Solaris port
 - verifying against RFC 86.0 and PAM-manuals
 - further TODO list

Note:
 Actually, its repository name on the Linuxbourg server is
   "pam_mysqlim"  (pam_mysql IMproved)
 This has nothing to say...
 We could also discuss if I can commit my thing to the 'pam_mysql' sourceforge
 repository of if I have to register a new project (in this case, 'pam_mysqlim')


Looking forward to hear from you,
sincerly,
_________
