Can anyone reply - again - directly to me this time? In addition - I hunted around quite a bit - I can't find the pam source code, there's not a pam package installed (except for pam-mysql), and there is a library in /usr/lib called libpam.a - which contains all of the pam_*.o files, and there is no pam documentation in section 8 (got plenty of section 3, though, which is worthless in the circumstances). I am starting to get the impression that who ever set up the pam interface did it with a static mentality - I feel like I'm going to have to call it Static Pluggable Authentication Modules, and I'm sick of sPAM :). Sorry for the wry humor so early in the week. Joe Joe Lewis wrote: > Ladies and Gents; > > I've got the following problem. I installed PAM on my 5.1R version of > FreeBSD.
