Hello!

I'm currently working on adding Security Dynamics' smartcard
authentication to FreeBSD login (and later, to ftp{d}). I have some
questions though: 

* as it seems at first glance, we don't use/have login_* modules
mentioned in login's Makefile. So the most of the auth functions from
libutil is unused. Am I right (fully/partially/not at all)?

* when adding new auth style, it seems to be a more proper thing to put it
into libutil than to login.c itself (like SKEY #defines). Or, since
login.c contains so many #defines anyway, just to go with the new stuff
there. For those uninformed, SecurID API requires about two #includes and
one call to their auth function, that's all, so this wouldn't be a much
bloat to the login.c.

What would you suggest?
TIA

Andy
