mod_cloud_notify: Identify (and immediately push) urgent stanzas, e.g. calls This covers the following things: - A session that appears online, but has a broken TCP connection - Clients such as Siskin and Snikket iOS that require a push for calls to work It allows the stanza to be pushed immediately instead of waiting for the session to hibernate or an ack to timeout. It shouldn't break any existing cases.

Introduction
============

This module makes Prosody authenticate users against PAM (Linux
Pluggable Authentication Modules)

Dependencies
============

The module depends on [lua-pam](https://github.com/devurandom/lua-pam)
and [LuaPosix](https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix).

Setup
=====

Create a `/etc/pam.d/xmpp` with something like this:

    auth    [success=1 default=ignore]  pam_unix.so obscure sha512 nodelay
    auth    requisite           pam_deny.so
    auth    required            pam_permit.so

And switch authentication provider in the Prosody config:

    authentication = "pam"
