Wouldn't it be cleaner to move NIS stuff into its own PAM module, i.e. a pam_nis? > - Migrate libpam-modules itself towards dropping the Essential flag. Do utilities like `su` or `sudo` still work w/o libpam-modules installed (at least for root)? Is it possible to log in to a system w/o libpam-modules installed? Via OpenSSH public key auth? Via local console? Ansgar
