We don't have one anymore. I consider it a HUGE feature that lukemftpd doesn't do PAM. Like the new "standards" headers, PAM has done nothing for me over what I had in pre-PAM'ized FreeBSD, but cause great pain. Yet another promiss of something the better and easier that has not turned out to be the case.

It is not incomplete -- it has a fine set of functionalty. In fact it has larger functionality in that it is imperlious to PAM f*&king over To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
