Hi Daniel

Related to your work in figuring out PAM authentication and knowing
that you worked a little on documentation, am I correct that you
didn't update any docs for this? I was thinking to select this as a
focus area where we should update the docs for 7.1 release. I'm
volunteering to do it, and the info in your blog post is already
sufficient, just wanted to check you are not sitting on some
documentation that I don't see yet in trunk?
