# 🍳 nonstick

Nonstick lets you use PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) from Rust without having to deal with icky unsafe code.

## Status

It is currently very incomplete.
It only provides functionality for developing your own PAM authentication module (i.e., a backend that PAM calls to authenticate a user or do something similar).
At the moment, [Linux-PAM](https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam) is the only supported PAM implementation.

I will make an effort not to break APIs with development, but consider it alpha, pre-1.0 software.
While the code itself should be _secure_ and mostly safe, the API may not be completely stable.

Goals include:

- Bindings for PAM clients.
- Support for non–Linux-PAM implementations.

`pam-rs` was in turn inspired by:
