Since this applies to a system in another galaxy far far away, I'll
ask this here!

I was building openssh-2.1.1p2 with openssl-0.95a on a 3.3-RELEASE
box. (Yes, I know it's upgrade time, but it's a production system
and I'm replacing it soon).

The sshd daemon would not authenticate using the PAM stuff. I *did*
install the stuff from the contrib directory in the openssh sources
in /etc/pam.conf.

It was suggested by a posting elsewhere that it would work by configging
it with --without-pam. You then get a link error, which you can fix
with -lcrypt in the Makefile.

What sort of security compromise have I caused here?

Thanks...
