[webmin-devel] Webmin PAM Authentication

Hi everyone, I'm back :).

Just a little suggestion for the redhat-compliant systems. In the
/etc/pam.d/webmin, replace the classic :
auth     required    pam_unix.so etc....

By the more conventionnal :
auth include system-auth

This allows Webmin on redhat-compliant system to authenticate users
upon the Directory chosen by the administrator (so local, LDAP, NIS,
etc...) instead of systematically authenticate upon local /etc/passwd
base.

See the joined patch.

I'm conscious that authentication is a sensible part of the system so
I can imagine it will be hard to include to Webmin. But maybe it can
help ;).
