    Ken,

         Thank you for the reply.
         Say Authen-PAM-0.14.tar.gz is now on the server, I want it to be
    copied to the target machine, unzipped, untarred, and be installed with
    a ignite postinstall script. The thing I'm not sure is that where to put
    the Authen-PAM-0.14.tar.gz initially for the script to work on. Is the
    /var/opt/ignite/clients directory OK?
         I'm quite new in this area, please answer me as detailed as
    possible, if you can.
