This is a software module for authentication using PAM. It enables secure access to a system by verifying user credentials against a pre-defined set of rules. The module provides an extra layer of security for user authentication.
The installation process was relatively straightforward on my Ubuntu/Debian operating system. To compile the module, you'll need the libpam0g-dev and liblircclient0-dev packages. Once you have those installed, simply type 'make' to begin the compilation process. If all goes well, switch to root and type 'make install' to install the pam_lirc.so module to /lib/security/.
Overall, I found pam_lirc to be an effective and convenient tool for remote password input. However, keep in mind that it may require some additional configuration depending on your system's setup.
