Dear SecurCare Customer,


Summary:

The Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for UNIX and Linux allows
the integration of various authentication technologies such as UNIX,
Kerberos, RSA, smart cards, and DCE into system entry services such as
login, dtlogin, passwd, rlogin, telnet, ftp, and su without changing
any of these services.

By leveraging the strength of RSA SecurID® and the flexibility of PAM,
organizations can eliminate security risks associated with using
static passwords for user authentication. While enhancing security,
the RSA SecurID® solution can help organizations reduce Help Desk
costs from password-related calls and increase user productivity.


Features:

RSA Authentication Agent 6.0 for PAM can co-exist with other PAM
modules on the same machine. This release also resolves threading
issues, allowing it to be used in more scenarios than previous versions.
