==========

A simple PAM authentication backend for Django.  Add the folder ``dpam``

somewhere on your python path and add 'dpam.backends.PAMBackend' to your

``settings.py``::

  AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (

      ...

      'dpam.backends.PAMBackend',

      ...

  )

Now you can login via the system-login credentials.  If the user is

successfully authenticated but has never logged-in before, a new ``User``

object is created.  By default this new ``User`` has both ``is_staff`` and

``is_superuser`` set to ``False``.  You can change this behavior by adding

``PAM_IS_STAFF=True`` and ``PAM_IS_SUPERUSER`` in your ``settings.py`` file.

If you do not want a ``User`` record to be created automatically, use

``PAM_CREATE_USER=False`` in ``settings.py``.  This is useful in situations

where you want to use PAM for authentication but not for authorization.
