As to PAM, I've never tried building polkit without it - didn't even

looking at current polkit, it *appears* to support Shadow as an

*Appears* is the right intonation!  The build fails without PAM and I
think I reported it a while ago, and upstream pretty much said
most/all distros use PAM so they weren't interested in fixing it.  I
was going to reply with a tongue-in-cheek patch that completely removed
Shadow support, to make PAM a hard dependency but never did get around
to it.


This patch enables polkit to compile against shadow. I don't need to install
PAM anymore. I got it from a link linux fan suggested
