The most recent version of Mac OS X (10.3, Panther) has a feature that disallows the standard getpwnam function call to return the encrypted version of the persons password. I've got a clumsy work around for this problem that uses the Mac OS X specific authentication libraries. I tried using the checkpassword-pam tool hoping that pam would hide all this abstraction with out success. Has any one else experienced this non-portability feature with Mac OS X? -- Quist Consulting Email: [email protected] 219 Donlea Drive Voice: +1.416.696.7600 Toronto ON M4G 2N1 Cell: +1.416.803.0080 CANADA WWW: http://www.quist.ca
