PAM, as I understand it, provides the hooks that enable you to plug in different authentication/authorization (NIS, NIS+, shadow, passwd, kerberos, radius, etc). That way, you have a pam'ified /bin/login, rather than having a kerbified login, a shadow login, etc etc. It's used by RedHat and Solaris. -- .....A. P.
