---|
| | This program provides a way to validate whether a given user has |
---|
| | a particular password, and optionally, whether they belong to a |
---|
| | particular group. |
---|
| | |
---|
| | There are two implementations of the program in this package, one in |
---|
| | Python and one in C. The C implementation is preferred since the |
---|
| | program has to run setuid in order to be able to validate passwords. |
---|
| | The Python implementation was the initial template for the program and |
---|
| | is included for completeness, but will only be useful when it is run |
---|
| | by root. |
