Modules are loaded explicitly, so this is not an issue. See my homepage (http://www.smith.net.au/~mike) for a port of a slightly older version of the Linux-PAM distribution to FreeBSD. There are a number of problems which need to be addressed before PAM can be taken seriously, but these really just require developer time. mike
