Having had some experience writing pam modules on a number of platforms, I whipped out my suite of pam test modules to have a look at this incredbible breakage you speak of. I mean, there is a specification for pam after all. Hmmm... odd; the modules all build and work just fine, modulo some minor tweaks mostly related to gcc 3.x, even though I have never built them on FreeBSD 5 before. Definitely no worse than when porting to certain commercial platforms. > My request is this...

Whatever difficulties you are experiencing, I'd say the reason is not specifically related to openpam or FreeBSD 5. Maybe if you post some details, such as source and error messages, someone will be able to help you.
