Description: Credential Validation Modules
 CVM is a framework for validating a set of credentials against a database
 using a filter program.  The modules act as a filter, taking a set of
 credentials as input and writing a set of facts as output if those
 credentials are valid.  Optional input is given to the module through
 environment variables.
 .
 Some of the ideas for CVM came from experience with PAM (pluggable
 authentication modules), the checkpassword interface used by qmail-pop3d,
 and the "authmod" interface used by Courier IMAP and POP3.  This framework
 places fewer restrictions on the invoking client than checkpassword does,
 and is much simpler to implement on both sides than PAM and the authmod
 framework.
 .
 This package includes cvm binaries.
Description-es: Módulos de validación de credenciales
 CVM es un entorno para validar un conjunto de credenciales contra una base
 de datos usando un programa de filtrado. Los módulos actúan como filtros,
 tomando un conjunto de credenciales como entrada y escribiendo un conjunto
 de hechos como salida si esas credenciales son válidas. Se pueden pasar
 opciones de entrada al módulo a través de variables de entorno.
 .
 Algunas de las ideas de CVM vienen de la experiencia con PAM (módulos
 extensibles de autenticación), la interfaz de comprobación de contraseña
 que usa qmail-pop3d, y la interfaz «authmod» que usan IMAP y POP3 de
 Courier. Este entorno pone menos restricciones al cliente que le invoca que
 las que pone «checkpassword», y es mucho más sencillo de implementar a
 ambos lados que PAM y el entorno «authmod».
