Recompiling apps isn't going to change things.  The default is in the
system.

: 2. pam modules break backwards compatibility with pam apps compiled on
: RELENG_4. The only solution I've been offered is to recompile things (or,
: my preferred solution, don't use pam).

Yes.  There's nothing here except to recompile.

: 3. xconsole causes periodic panics. The problem (according to BDE) is "a
: well-know bug in printf(9)," caused by "The TIOCCONS ioctl ... panics when
: printf() is called while sched_lock is held." I reported this bug in
: October 2001, if anyone wants to look through the archives.

This isn't happening often enough to worry about.  I run xconsole and
I've not seen a panic with it in months of running current with
xconsole.  Of course, maybe I'm just lucky.
