There now appear to be two different ways to configure user authentication: PAM and auth.conf. Both appear to try to do the same thing. Which of these are actually used by the system? Which one is going to superceede the other? I found no real information on the FreeBSD plans in any of the 3.4 or 4.0 release notes. -- Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
