OOo has worked perfectly on all of my 2007 and 2008 PAM-less builds. |

I've always started with a stage3, added -pam to USE, adjusted cflags |
| 24 |
and such to my liking, and then followed with a full emerge -e system. |
| 25 |
I added it back on one system more recently because of something or |
| 26 |
other I was screwing with... x11-misc/slim I think it was. Looking at |
| 27 |
a quick "eix openoffice" ... it does have a pam use flag to get past |
| 28 |
any troubles. |
