mod_muc_limits: Add config option to limit to join stanzas only This is a bit more limited in pre-0.11 MUC modules, because it just detects stanzas sent to full JIDs (which would include all presence and nick changes). This option is useful for setups where users are typically unaffiliated, but trusted (e.g. if access to the room is gated through some other means such as password/token auth).

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"
