I need to utilize pam_pwdfile in order to authenticate virtual users in vsftpd. I know I can utilize htpasswd2 -m to create a password file however it is vital since I am administrating several machines in our organization that the password generated be in clear text. Does anyone on here know if that is possible using the pam_pwdfile module for authentication or does anyone else have a better solution?
Best Regards,
Cole
Probably pam_userdb crypt=none?

Just curious. Why plaintext? I don’t quite see why administering several
machines affects that. You can copy encrypted text entries across
machines :-?
