Hi,

I noticed OpenBSD has something called bsd_auth, an authentication system obtained from BSDI. Is this feasible for FreeBSD to get implemented too?

PAM works ok for me and is quite easy to implement support for, make new modules etc. But our implementation seems to be directly dependant on Linuxisms, and we don't know where that route is going to end up.

Oh well, I just wanted to notice you on this in case you didn't know about bsd_auth. The man page for it can be looked up on:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bsd_auth&sektion=3&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current

Cheers,

-- Anders.
