[CentOS] Where to find RHDS (Red Hat Directory Server) ?

[Wei Yu]

Could you give more details? I am not familiar with PAM.
I know it can use some "plugged" auth methods to do some job, but I do not
know which plug is suitable.
What I want is just like Richardson's remarks. I want to use two auth
methods for web users and users who can have a shell, which the former will
care less about the security of the password. e.g. two different passwords
for them.
I do want to know if there are better solutions.

Regards,
Wei Yu
