Configuring ftp
Beginning with HP-UX 11.0, ftp provides support for Pluggable
Authentication Module (PAM). PAM is an Open Group standard (RFC
71.0) for user authentication, password modification, and validation of
accounts.
The PAM configuration file (/etc/pam.conf) has been updated to
include ftp. The default authentication mechanism is UNIX, and its
entry in pam.conf is as follows:
ftp auth required /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1
ftp account required /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1
DCE is the other supported authentication mechanism, and if you want
to change the default to be DCE, edit the entry in pam.conf to read as
follows:
ftp auth required /usr/lib/security/libpam_dce.1
ftp account required /usr/lib/security/libpam_dce.1

Workgroups.
