Do you need more help?

cgipaf is a combination of three CGI programs. passwd.cgi, which allow users to update their password, viewmailcfg.cgi, which allows users to view their current mail configuration, and mailcfg.cgi, which updates the mail configuration. All programs use PAM for user authentication. It is possible to run a script to update SAMBA passwords or NIS configuration when a password is changed. mailcfg.cgi creates a .procmailrc in the user's home directory. A user with too many invalid logins can be locked. The minimum and maximum UID can be set in the configuration file, so you can specify a range of UIDs that are allowed to use cgipaf.

Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access kernel address space directly.
