His argument was that it would be not the best idea in the world to hack each and every PAM module that we adopt. To me - I'd rather ifdef all this stuff than have /usr/include/security dedicated to PAM. I don't think we should repeat mistakes on some other operating system. Especially since you've mentioned that we're not taking modules from Linux (or at least not so many of them). > > - Jordan > -- dima To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
