Thank you for the fast response on my
question. I will look in to the Authorization Plug-ins.

Hi Jeff,
There are sample plug-ins in /Developer/Examples/Security/.
PAM is essentially a compatibility layer on Mac OS X. We don't
encourage developers to use it, largely because PAM is not hooked into much of
the Mac OS X security infrastructure as it lives at the UNIX layer. For
example, PAM can't make use of smart cards or biometrics devices while the
higher-level infrastructure can.
More questions can be posted to the apple-cdsa list.
