Hi,

I noticed OpenBSD has something called bsd_auth, an authentication
system obtained from BSDI. Is this feasible for FreeBSD to get
implemented too?

PAM works ok for me and is quite easy to implement support for, make new
modules etc. But our implementation seems to be directly dependant on
Linuxisms, and we don't know where that route is going to end up.

Oh well, I just wanted to notice you on this in case you didn't know
about bsd_auth. The man page for it can be looked up on:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bsd_auth&sektion=3&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current

Cheers,
