Yeah, I'd considered this myself and was going to implement it but after mentioning it in FreeBSD-mobile I got response saying it was a bit overkill (which, it would have been). Right now I've just got that code commented out in my login.c. The comment above the code says something along the lines of ``PAM may allocate more groups'' - I think that means that it provides the membership to all of the required groups. For me (at the moment) this is not an issue so I have now just compiled with that code disabled. It works perfectly but I really want to know what it's doing exactly, and whether it _should_ be causing a hang. Many thanks for your response, -lewiz. --=20 Misery loves company, but company does not reciprocate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --|| url: http://lewiz.info/ | http://www.westwood.karoo.net/pgpkey ||-- --qGV0fN9tzfkG3CxV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+GBdeItq0KFQv7T8RAlkRAJsHt6xNC9aINozsyMgA3k+fxQq3IgCdGKXO uQ+uGeRF6/gHbZiSQ4QI4rg= =xc0k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qGV0fN9tzfkG3CxV-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
