1 This is a library making it easy to patch applications to send commands to
2 PWMD. Features include:
4 * Thread safe: POSIX or libpth2
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 There is an included command line client 'pwmc' that reads protocol commands
10 from stdin and sends them to the pwmd server. Read libpwmd(3) or pwmc(1) for
11 all the details. Read doc/TUTORIAL for an introduction to pwmd and pwmc usage.
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 libreadline - http://www.gnu.org/software/readline/
25 For an interactive shell-like interface to pwmc. Optional.
27 pwmd - http://bjk.sourceforge.net/pwmd/
28 Version 2.18 or later.
30 If you want to do remote SSH connections to a pwmd server:
32 libssh2 - http://libssh2.org/
33 Version 1.2.7 or later is required.
35 libc-ares - http://c-ares.haxx.se/
36 For asynchronous DNS lookups. Version 1.5.2 has been tested
39 For functions that use a local pinentry (and not pwmd's pinentry) and if
40 --disable-pinentry is not passed to configure, then you'll need:
42 pinentry - ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/pinentry/
43 There are various interfaces for passphrase entry:
44 console/curses, X11/GTK2, X11/QT. The X11 versions also
45 support console/curses. Version 0.7.5 or later is required.
47 cracklib2 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/cracklib
48 If --enable-quality is passed to ./configure then a
49 passphrase quality meter is used with the local pinentry.
55 There is a public GIT repository available at repo.or.cz. Anonymous checkouts
58 git clone git://repo.or.cz/libpwmd.git
60 The gitweb interface can be viewed at http://repo.or.cz/w/libpwmd.git.
