What is a PAM based login? I do not know. I had a normal Armlnux system
with the 2.0.35 kernel from ftp.arm.linux.org.uk, and the RedHAt rpms from
there. And I have compiled a 2.2.3 kernel. So so you perhaps know whether
I have this?
What is the shadow file? The file /etc/passwd looks similar, but does not
contain so much numbers but a shell.
But I have another problem with the new kernel: It does not want to load
the modules, for instance the fpemulator because they have a wrong kernel
version. They are 2.0.59 it says, strange.
