Support the modules. In many cases, they are vedor supplied and we can't do anything with them as fa as distribution and default support otherwise. I believe it was Mike Pritchard (mpp@mpp.minn.net) who wrote our login.conf implementation so far (it's been a while; check the -current archives to be sure). You should contact him (or the author, if not him) directly. Regards, Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
