Its actually mentioned in the book under Command Explanations. --with-authfw=shadow: This parameter configures the package to use the Shadow rather than the Linux PAM Authentication framework. Remove it if you would like to use Linux PAM. By default, without the --with-authfw paramter, it will build using pam authentication (I presume). >From confingure --help: --with-authfw=<name> Authentication framework (none/pam/shadow) Regards, Wayne. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
