🍳 nonstick

Nonstick lets you use PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) from Rust without having to deal with icky unsafe code.

Status

It is currently very incomplete. It only provides functionality for developing your own PAM authentication module (i.e., a backend that PAM calls to authenticate a user or do something similar). At the moment, Linux-PAM is the only supported PAM implementation.

I will make an effort not to break APIs with development, but consider it alpha, pre-1.0 software. While the code itself should be secure and mostly safe, the API may not be completely stable.

Goals include:

• Bindings for PAM clients.
• Support for non–Linux-PAM implementations.
