+SMArT 0.99 Perl     http://www.lintux.cx/smart.html     Released Mar 10 2001
+
+
+This is the first official release of the Perl version of SMArT. It's a lot
+faster than the old program, but very possibly not yet complete. Please tell
+me what features are still missing or not working correctly so I can correct
+it.
+
+The program is (hopefully) also quite a lot more secure, although passwords
+are still transferred over the network in almost-cleartext. The only way to
+solve this is using https, but I don't know how it works (yet) so this is
+all I can do... Instead of the old password system, you just have to fill in
+your root login name + password to use SMArT. The program setuid()s to a
+less privileged user as soon as possible, although this is not that
+necessary, maybe. The less privileged user is specified in the smart.conf
+file, in case you want to change it.
+
+
+To get the program working, just add the following line to your
+/etc/services file: (You can set the 902 to whatever port you want to run
+SMArT on.)
+
+smart	902/tcp
+
+And the following line should be added to /etc/inetd.conf:
+
+smart	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/local/smart/smart
+
+(SMArT can be installed anywhere you want, just make sure the path in the
+inetd.conf file is correct...)
+
+You might also have to recompile the check_login binary. The following
+command should do the job:
+
+gcc check_login.c -o check_login -lpam -ldl
+
+(The binary which comes with this tarball should work on Debian Potato
+systems without recompiling.)
+
+You probably also need to create a PAM configuration file for smart
+authentication. Well, let's see how it works, I'm not sure since it's not
+the same on every distro. :(
+
+This is my /etc/pam.d/smart file:
+
+auth            required        pam_unix.so
+account         required        pam_unix.so
+password        required        pam_unix.so
+session         required        pam_unix.so
+
+This should work on a Debian Potato system, but a RedHat system /might/ want
+pam_pwdb instead, IIRC.
+
+
+That should be enough to get it working. If you see problems, you can mail
+me at lintux@lintux.cx or if you prefer you can use ICQ. (#72696705) (Dutch
+people can speak their native language to me, FYI. ;)
+
+Have fun!
