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.
I recently used pam_lirc, a PAM authentication module that allows you to input your password through a remote control. This feature is particularly handy if you want to avoid using your keyboard or mouse to log into KDM's default user features.
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.
