base-system@gentoo.org sam@gentoo.org Sam James Use pam_elogind module to register user sessions with elogind. Use pam_systemd module to register user sessions in the systemd control group hierarchy. Use pam_systemd_home module to manage home directories with the systemd-homed service Enable debug information logging on syslog(3) for all the modules supporting this in the system authentication and system login stacks. Enable pam_passwdqc module on system auth stack for password quality validation. This module produces warnings, rejecting or providing example passwords when changing your system password. It is used by default by OpenWall GNU/*/Linux and by FreeBSD. Enable pam_pwhistory module on system auth stack to save the last passwords for each user in order to force password change history and keep the user from alternating between the same password too frequently. Enable pam_pwquality module on system auth stack for passwd quality validation. It is used by default by Fedora GNU/*/Linux. Enable pam_mktemp module on system auth stack for session handling. This module creates a private temporary directory for the user, and sets TMP and TMPDIR accordingly. Enable pam_ssh module on system auth stack for authentication and session handling. This module will accept as password the passphrase of a private SSH key (one of ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa or ~/.ssh/identity), and will spawn an ssh-agent instance to cache the open key. Switch Linux-PAM's pam_unix module to use sha512 for passwords hashes rather than MD5. This option requires sys-libs/pam version 1.0.1 built against sys-libs/glibc version 2.7, if it's built against an earlier version, it will silently be ignored, and MD5 hashes will be used. All the passwords changed after this USE flag is enabled will be saved to the shadow file hashed using SHA512 function. The password previously saved will be left untouched. Please note that while SHA512-hashed passwords will still be recognised if the USE flag is removed, the shadow file will not be compatible with systems using an earlier glibc version. Add System Security Services Daemon (sys-auth/sssd) support via pam_sss. Switch Linux-PAM's pam_unix module to use yescrypt for passwords hashes rather than MD5 Enable pam_krb5 module on system auth stack, as an alternative to pam_unix. If Kerberos authentication succeeds, only pam_unix will be ignorde, and all the other modules will proceed as usual, including Gnome Keyring and other session modules. It requires sys-libs/pam as PAM implementation. Disables the standard PAM modules that provide extra information to users on login; this includes pam_lastlog, pam_motd, pam_mail and other similar modules. This might not be a good idea on a multi-user system but could reduce slightly the overhead on single-user non-networked systems. Enable the nullok option with the pam_unix module. This allows people to login with blank passwords. Enable pam_securetty module in the login stack. Not generally relevant anymore as the login stack only refers to local logins and local terminals imply secure access in the first place. proj/pambase gentoo/pambase
