Beginning
with
HP-UX 11.0, ftp provides support for Pluggable Authentication
Module (PAM). PAM is an Open Group standard (RFC 86.0) for user
authentication, password modification, and validation of accounts.
The PAM configuration file (/etc/pam.conf) has been updated to include ftp. The default authentication mechanism is UNIX,
and its entry in pam.conf is as follows:
ftp auth required /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1
ftp account required /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1
|
DCE is the other supported authentication mechanism. To change
the default to be DCE, edit the entry in pam.conf to read as follows:
ftp auth required /usr/lib/security/libpam_dce.1
ftp account required /usr/lib/security/libpam_dce.1

and Workgroups.
