1 This is a library making it easy to patch applications to send commands to
2 PWMD. Features include:
4 * Thread safe (POSIX and libpth2 (optional) supported)
5 * Asynchronous pinentry when threading isn't possible
6 * Secure remote connections over SSH using libssh2
7 * Secure memory functions which applications may also use
9 Read libpwmd.h or libpwmd(3) for all the details. There is an included
10 command line client 'pwmc' that reads protocol commands from stdin and sends
11 them to the pwmd server.
15 C99 compiler - http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/
18 libgpg-error - http://www.gnupg.org/
19 libassuan (and pwmd) returns gpg error codes.
21 libpth2 - http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/pth.html
22 Portable multi-threading library. Optional.
24 pwmd - http://bjk.sourceforge.net/pwmd/
25 Version 1.11 or later.
27 If you want to do remote SSH connections to a pwmd server:
29 libssh2 - http://libssh2.org/
30 Version 1.0 has been tested to work.
32 libc-ares - http://c-ares.haxx.se/
33 For asynchronous DNS lookups. Version 1.5.2 has been tested
36 For functions that use a local pinentry (and not pwmd's pinentry) and if
37 --disable-pinentry is not passed to configure, then you'll need:
39 pinentry - ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/pinentry/
40 There are various interfaces for passphrase entry:
41 console/curses, X11/GTK2, X11/QT. The X11 versions also
42 support console/curses. Version 0.7.5 or later is required.
44 cracklib2 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/cracklib
45 If --enable-quality is passed to ./configure then a
46 passphrase quality meter is used with the local pinentry.
52 There is a public GIT repository available at repo.or.cz. Anonymous checkouts
55 git clone git://repo.or.cz/libpwmd.git
57 The gitweb interface can be viewed at http://repo.or.cz/w/libpwmd.git.
