RE: Security 101: Account Security - PAM!
In python you could use something like this:
import pam
if pam.authenticate('username','password'):
print 'authentication correct'
else:
print 'authentication incorrect'
You'll need the python-pam
module. I have no Python experience, got the code from Stack Overflow, so it may/may not work.
You can also see this code sample in Stack Overflow for using PAM in C++ to get an idea and implement it in your own code.
I plan to make some examples in the series though.
Thank you. I'm looking forward to it.
