I only picked up Wayne's work on gnome-3 because there had been a general presumption that incorporating all of gnome would be a good idea. As you know, I've no enthusiasm for PAM (although it appears to be working ok for me), and having run most of the apps, I've no enthusiasm for gnome-3. I know what LDAP and NIS are, but they have no relevance to me. I've never heard of AD - you're in a different environment from me, so I'm happy to leverage your strengths.
If you care about this, feel free to move more of it to system-* files with my blessing. I'm a great believer in KISS, but each to his own. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
