Jerry, I've got a situation similar to yours. I'm using pam with kde and |

not having any issues at all, even across boxen. |

Rather than looking at your world as "how do I remove pam?", why not look at |
| 13 |
it as "if it's not broke don't fix it." |

Leave pam et. Al in place until you actually encounter a situation where |
| 16 |
it's failing. |
