I'm using the latest version RedHat has officially released for 4.2
(0.57).  If the latest XFree86 requires version 0.59 of pam I would
hope they will release that version of pam.  I suspect RedHat's
maintaining both 4.2 and 5.x releases has resulted in this problem
(although, I think they made the correct decision to continue
supporting 4.2).  Anyway, I was just posting the problem so hopefully
RedHat will either release pam-0.59 or make a new XFree86 rpm that
works with pam-0.57.  It doesn't matter to me - I just want a system
that works and is secure :-).  Once I get a few free days I'm going to
upgrade to 5.1 and try to get all my software working with it, but
until I get a chance I want to keep my system secure.
