 This plugin authenticates users against the Unix user database. It presents a similar UI to [[plugins/passwordauth]], but simpler, as there's no need to be able to register or change one's password.
 
-[pwauth](http://www.unixpapa.com/pwauth/) must be installed and working. In particular, it must be configured to recognize the UID of the calling web server, or authentication will always fail. Set `pwauth_path` to the full path of your pwauth binary.
+To authenticate, either [checkpassword](http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html) or [pwauth](http://www.unixpapa.com/pwauth/) must be installed and configured. `checkpassword` is strongly preferred. If your web server runs as an unprivileged user -- as it darn well should! -- then `checkpassword` needs to be setuid root. (Or your ikiwiki CGI wrapper, I guess, but don't do that.) Other checkpassword implementations are available, notably [checkpassword-pam](http://checkpasswd-pam.sourceforge.net/).
 
-As [with passwordauth](/security/#index14h2), be wary of sending usernames and passwords in cleartext. Unlike with passwordauth, sniffing these credentials can get an attacker much further than mere wiki access. SSL with this plugin is a __must__.
+Config variables that affect the behavior of `unixauth`:
 
-[[!toggle id="code" text="unixauth.pm"]]
+* `unixauth_type`: defaults to unset, can be "checkpassword" or "pwauth"
+* `unixauth_command`: defaults to unset, should contain the full path and any arguments
+* `unixauth_requiressl`: defaults to 1, can be 0
+* `sslcookie`: needs to be 1 if `unixauth_requiressl` is 1 (perhaps this should be done automatically?)

+__Security__: [As with passwordauth](/security/#index14h2), be wary of sending usernames and passwords in cleartext. Unlike passwordauth, sniffing `unixauth` credentials can get an attacker much further than mere wiki access. Therefore, this plugin defaults to not even _displaying_ the login form fields unless we're running under SSL. Nobody should be able to do anything remotely dumb until the admin has done at least a little thinking. After that, dumb things are always possible. ;-)
