While we are all aware of the constaint pain it gives users. As maintainer of a few PAM ports (mod_auth_pam, pam-mysql), I beg to differ. I regularly talk to and help users to implement PAM application-wise. I also use PAM a lot myself for external authentication methods. I think many people appreciate PAM being there. Remove PAM, and I would need to consider another OS.. Cheers, -- Anders. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
