for the filename (like pam_listfile). Voila. No mods to daemons needed, power users happy, normal users blissfully unaware (unless they look into pam config files and actually make changes).

None of this works without the vows and good intentions we talked about. I don't trust myself to use different passwords for different services. Or accidentally punch in the wrong one. How many of your trusted sysadmins will use the same password, or just change it by one or two characters, for ssh, ftp etc? Didn't someone earlier in the thread suggest disabling password authentication in ssh, and using only RSA public key authentication? Is there any reason why we cannot all use that (of course for commercial use in the USA we have to buy the license or wait for the patent to expire?) dproc
