Introduction
This code checks an input password against a logins password from
/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow (or the like).
Configuration
Some C Preprocessor defines must be set for the code to compile.
- USE_STRINGS
-
Set to non-zero when we should use <strings.h>, else
we include <string.h>.
- USE_MD5
-
Set to non-zero when we should use MD5 hashes and the dollar sign ($)
salt format.
- HAVE_SHADOW
-
If the password field in the public password entry is "x" call
getspnam to find the real password entry.
Provides
- int CheckPass(struct passwd *pwd, char *pcEPass, char *pcWord)
-
Given a password entry and a proposed encrypted password verify
that the word given would hash to that same encryption.
Todo list
Port to new systems.
