[comp.unix.ultrix] checkpass, authenticate_user, and pcnfsd

smiles@ferrari.nmc.ed.ray.com (Kevin Ruddy) (12/31/90)

I'm running Ultrix 4.1a at the ENHANCED security level.  I'm trying to
get PCNFSD to properly authenticate users.  Unfortunately, there's
no documentation about the auth function library.

I can see that there are some functions like checkpass, authenticate_user,
and more.  But there's no listing anywhere of the proper arguments.

I really need PCNFSD to work.  For now, I've taken out the authentication
code entirely.  We have to have this working, but I don't want to move
down to BSD security unless I absolutely have to.

Many thanks in advance.  News isn't working properly yet, so please
respond by mail.
