Use Linux System user name and password

[Raidm404]

Hello,
Could some one point me how I can use a standard Linux system user with password to do the login process and set the root as the home directory of the system user.

Any help will be appreciated

TFM will not support standard system user login. you can customise to use LDAP login https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0046.html

I am really looking to do a customization on this project. I am working on a hosting control panel and I love to use this as the filemanager. The problem is the control panel is written on python . But I can place the script on a php docroot that runs on nginx server. If some one help me to implement these changes , I can use it along with a porject and it will be a good reference too.

If some one can take this as a paid work I can afford that too lol :)

PAM is a part of the authentication stack on Linux (and maybe other systems).

I found this possible path to something close to what you want to do : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1667996/is-it-possible-to-have-a-php-script-authenticate-users-with-their-linux-user-inf

However, I don't know what should be changed in PAM configuration (a broken PAM makes you unable to login into a system...) neither do I fully understand the security consequences.

Good luck !
