Just to provide an opposite view, for the sake of discussion, I use PAM with absolutely no issues whatsoever. For the record, I try to utilize PAM in all applications which will use it, and here's the /etc/pam.d/other file I use (as restrictive as possible): [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/BLFS > cat /etc/pam.d/other # File: /etc/pam.d/other auth required pam_deny.so auth required pam_warn.so account required pam_deny.so session required pam_deny.so password required pam_deny.so password required pam_warn.so Now, that said, in a home environment you probably don't need to use PAM for security. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 16:19:00 up 45 days, 15:52, 2 users, load average: 0.04, 0.02, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
