22 Just keep in mind that LSM **IS** going away. It's not an IF, it's a WHEN.

24 Gentoo needs proper modern PAM support. Let's hope the developers will
25 address this before we audio folks get stuck and have to find other
26 solutions. There is a test ebuild for PAM out there but it's not part
27 of portage.

29 If anybody has need of newer version of PAM please let the devs know.
