nofootnotes date September 2010 Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules PAM provide dynamic authorization for applications and services in a Linux system. Linux PAM is evolved from the Unix Pluggable Authentication Modules architecture. There are four groups for independent management Account modules check that the specified account is a valid authentication target under current conditions. This may include conditions like account expiration, time of day, and that the user has access to the requested service. Authentication modules verify the user s identity, for example by requesting and checking a password or other secret. They may also pass authentication information on to other systems like a keyring . Password modules are responsible for updating passwords, and are generally coupled to modules employed in the authentication step. They may also be used to enforce strong passwords. Session modules define actions that are performed at the beginning and end of sessions. A session starts after the user has successfully authenticated.

It can use OPIE user interface OPIE or GPE Palmtop Environment as graphical user interface . Familiar Linux is a complete operating system with many applications. Origin In May 2000, Alexander Guy took a kernel that had been worked on by Compaq programmers, built a complete Linux distribution around it, and released the first version of Familiar v0.1 . The distribution was a lightweight package with Python programming language Python and XFree86 with anti aliased fonts, used the Blackbox window manager, and included a new packaging system created by Carl Worth called ipkg , similar to Debian s dpkg , allowing user applications to be installed and removed. This next release was so far beyond what the Compaq team had built, that they decided to drop their own distribution and adopt Familiar as the new reference.
