Files needed for developing PAM-aware applications and modules for PAM
PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system security tool that
allows system administrators to set authentication policy without
having to recompile programs that handle authentication. This package
contains header files used for building both PAM-aware applications
and modules for use with the PAM system.
Version: 1.6.1
