I don't know anything about PAM (but am anxious to learn!), but to
get BSD ftpd working, I simply copied my /etc/pam.d/ssh to
/etc/pam.d/ftp and things work. (The ssh pam file was "stock" from
running Dan's install-ssh script if that makes any difference.)
Basically, are things fine if that works ok? Or do I need to
carefully consider *exactly* what goes into that pam file? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Also, any good docs out there on what pam is, what it does, how to
use it, program it, etc? Thanks.
