mod_auth_token: Timezone fix for TOTP checking luatz.time() returns milliseconds since epoch which is in UTC time, so we don't need to convert to UTC with gmtime. By calling gmtime, TOTP validation was failing when this module wasn't running on machine set to UTC time.

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

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

============

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"
