PAM

user authentication is handled via PAM, so you should implement it as a PAM module. the kernel has nothing to do with the login process, the frontend programs you see are either login (on a tty) or an X display manager like xdm, kdm, gdm.

but why do you want to 'tell our password'? everyone in the room and on the other end of a telephone line will know your secret password and will be able to login. you have to be able to login without revealing your secrets.

If I raise my voice, how many PC's can I log into at once?

Speech recognition: Reverse of reading a text file aloud.
Voice recognition: Determining who is speaking.

If you use speech recognition for passwords, everyone in the room hears your password.

You could use speech recognition to get the user name and voice recognition on the same words as a password. I could use a recording of your last login to login as you.

Remember to shred the last login audio file.
