How to install: 0. Put the checkpam directory into SimplePAMApps/apps and add checkpam to apps/Makefile 1. Compile the checkpam program: # { cd ../../../; make } 2. Install the checkpam program: # cp checkpam /bin/checkpam # chmod 700 /bin/checkpam Note that if the first argument to checkpam (after the program it is to execute) is `Maildir', then if $MAILDIR is `.' after PAM (due normally to the set_maildir option in pam_checkpassword.so), this argument will be overwritten. It is likely this will be changed to detect the string `$MAILDIR' and replace it with that envvar.
