Set installation directory for PAM loadable files.
Default is PREFIX/lib/security.
+ --with-crypt-lib=NAME
+ Use libNAME instead of libcrypt. Use this if you wish to use
+ an external implementation of crypt(3). For example, a common
+ approach is to use libxcrypt, which provides a wider range of
+ encryption algorithms than the native crypt. To use it, one
+ would do the following:
+
+ ./configure --with-crypt-lib=xcrypt
+
+--without-crypt-lib
+ Do not link libcrypt. This option is provided for the sake of
+ really hard cases, when the user wants to supply an
+ alternative implementation of crypt, yet finds that
+ --with-crypt-lib is not enough for this. It is supposed that
+ the necessary libraries will be given in LDFLAGS variable,
+ e.g.:
+
+ ./configure --without-crypt-lib LDFLAGS=...
+
--disable-fshadow
Disable pam_fshadow module.
