The portable version of OpenSSH, 2.5.2p2 has good support for PAM now.  I
have compiled it for x86 Solaris and it works great.  I had asked a little
bit ago about the plans to move to the 2.5 branch of OpenSSH and the
general sentiment was that a couple of things were still broken in that
branch, such as TIS.  I took a look at the changelog and I don't see
anything about TIS being fixed, nor do I see anything in the TODO about
fixing it.  Are there any more problems with 2.5 before moving it into
STABLE?
