Our Loginauthenticator won't let root be a valid user, so I'm not worried, but curios if any protection for know systems users has been added, besides the pam build in check for UID > 1000 ( on RH systems ). If not, take it as a Feature Request ;) And for anyone who's LoginAuthenticator uses PAM, you may wanne rethink your login-management. best regards, Marius -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
