Hi there,

I want to know is there any authentication module base on Linux passwd/
shadow file for django?

http://atlee.ca/software/pam/module-index.html

import pam from django.contrib.auth.models import User 
class PamBackend:

    def authenticate(self, username=None, password=None):         # Check the username/password and return a User.         if pam.authenticate(username, password, service='login'):              try:                 return User.objects.get(username=username)             except User.DoesNotExist:                 pass         return None 

ouch, I misunderstood your question. if you're using mysql as a db backend for you django project, you can use pam-mysql http://pam-mysql.sourceforge.net/ for the authentication on your servers.
