Google didn't seem to turn up much on this topic.
There's a thread of discussion here on that topic: http://www.webservertalk.com/message962127.html It mentions pam_abl, which I had happened across just last week, but haven't tried out yet. It's available here: http://www.hexten.net/sw/pam_abl/index.mhtml Sadly, I can't seem to find it as a prepackaged rpm for Fedora. -- Gilles R.
