Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm just writing to tell you guys that I'm alive, and will start working on a |
4 |
pam_tcb ebuild for the secure Gentoo profile today. For those of you who |
5 |
don't know what tcb is, it's a shadowing scheme written by Nergal and Solar |
6 |
Designer, allowing users to change and read their passwords (even though |
7 |
they're shadowed) without root access. This effectively allows passwd and |
8 |
other programs to lose their suid-root-ness, still working flawlessly. |

|
10 |
I expect the ebuild to be somewhat troublesome (with patches to shadow-utils, |
11 |
too), but they should be submitted to Bugzilla this week. |
12 |
|
13 |
If you haven't got any suggestions or objections, I'll start right away. |
