They also havent added * back PAM support which is in 3.x. People concerned about security of the server can continue using the 3.3.6 (xtt-*) servers. I didn't know about PAM -- do you have any idea what we can do about it? (I.e., how long will it take for someone like you to add it back? :) * Actually we are talking about doing a net-only 4.1.5 release in a few * weeks to make use of the fact that SSH now works properly by default. Actually, since RSA is free now, we can do 4.1.5 immediately, right? We can change the XFree86 default right after that. Jordan, what are your thoughts about the 4.1.5 release schedule?
