Description Author

This class can authenticate Linux/Unix users with passwd or shadow files.

It can check the system passwd or shadow files to verify if a given password crypt hash is correct for a given system user name.

The class can be used when executed by a system user with sudo permissions to access the system passwd or shadow files.
