php_pam v0.2

Hello all, I've released v0.2 of the php_pam module, a module which adds PAM bindings to the PHP scripting language. In addition to the module itself, this version includes a working sample conversation function and wrapper class, as well as a small helper daemon to allow communication between multiple PHP scripts, making it possible to use php_pam for authenticating users. As before, php_pam does not work with authentication methods which require root access to the local server (most notably, pam_unix/pam_pwdb). Support for such methods are slated for a future release. In the meantime, php_pam it has been successfully tested with pam_krb4 and should also work with other network authentication methods such as pam_smb and pam_ntdom. The module does not yet work with PHP4. I intend to incorporate PHP4 support in the next release. The latest version can be downloaded from <ftp://ftp.netexpress.net/pub/pam/php_pam.newest.tgz>. Any questions, comments, bug reports, etc, can be sent to me at vorlon@netexpress.net. Cheers, -Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
