I don't really see how this breaks POLA since the page hasn't been there since FreeBSD 5.0. It would be nice with pam(8) or some other generic PAM manual page, but since this hasn't happened for quite a while it's better not to references to a non-existing page. As for NetBSD's pam(8) I can't really say if that is an option since I haven't seen it. > I saw a pretty good and complete article in share/doc/, but this > must not replace the usual documentation. There is an article in doc/, but AFAIR that is also largely programming doc. -- Simon L. Nielsen
