Checkpassword-pam is a Linux open source software package that provides authentication for Unix-like systems using the traditional "passwd" system. It implements the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) interface, allowing users to authenticate via various methods, such as against a password file, an LDAP directory, a Kerberos server, or via NIS. The package also provides a secure mechanism for changing and resetting passwords.
