After all, if we're going to pull it into the base system, we'll have to find someone to actively maintain the code in the base system. If no one is maintaining the code externally, that in some ways makes their job easier. And I didn't say "support", I said "already have plugins". Sure, anything can be connected to PAM if you can get someone to write the plugins. Or are you saying there's already an ldap plugin that uses ldap schemas? <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
