I'm curious though. What do others get from PAM? I don't see any advantages over plain shadow for a direct terminal or ssh login unless you have a lot of different users trying to login and you are trying to control that via ldap. For me where there are only a very few users, e.g. 3 on a server, PAM just gets in the way. I feel the same way about tcpwrappers and xinetd. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
