The following line from acinclude.m4 should explain the situation better: [...] dnl MC_MCSERVER_CHECKS dnl Check how mcserver should check passwords. dnl Possible methods are PAM, pwdauth and crypt. dnl The later works with both /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd. dnl If PAM is found, other methods are not checked. [...] I guess for some reason you didn't have PAM installed in the past and now you have it, configure detects it and mcserv is built with PAM support. In any case I think this should be made configurable i.e. the type of authentication that's to be used by mcserv. _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
