hi all, naive question - but you know how i can load password plugins in window's to capture password changes in the clear. is there any way to achieve the same in linux? atm all i can think of (naively as i said) is to monitor the shadow file or whatever and then <insert fav technique here> to open the hash. but i am really trying to achieve a near realtime understanding of password changes on the system side, so i can sync them out to apps or systems or whatever. are there pam's out there that do this? or maybe there are rootkits that can do this, that i could canabalise the password stuff out of to pam-ify it. im not looking to write anything nasty here - just think password sync-ing, without like a managed enterprise approach like NIS or LDAP auth or whatever. any thoughts would be appreciated :) david.
