Just a quick question: what do you need PAM for? No it's not a |
| 18 |
rhetorical question. I always wondered what PAM is good for; to find |
| 19 |
out, I completely removed everything PAM related from my system ("-pam" |
| 20 |
in make.conf and then rebuild everything and then depclean.) The system |
| 21 |
works exactly the same as before. So I'm left wondering what PAM was |
| 22 |
doing in the first place? |
