There currently is no PAM support in MySQL. Part of the problem is that MySQL would still need some mechanism for figuring out which hosts are allowed to connect. Last I checked, PAM only deals with usernames and passwords, buy MySQL uses the combination of user/pass/host when granting access. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
