Sounds good, thanks. One question: in order to get PAM auth working, you
have to set uid root on the epam bits and chown them appropriately in
order to allow things to work. Should the port installation process do
these steps as well or should we leave them to the user? I would be
inclined to have the port do them so that upgrading the port doesn't
break PAM auth after the upgrade. We would want to print a big warning
at the end of the port install about the set uid security aspects though.

Cheers,
Lawrence
