Okay this will probably raise the Ire of some Sys Admins!

I often have several sessions running simultaniously on the same
hardware.
Permissions seemed to change almost at random and usually when I'm right
in
the middle of trying to decipher some complicated new program for some
device
that suddenly disappears or quits working.
Some day I may have public login access and multiple
unknown/untrusworthy
individuals lurking in my "Server". Right now that is not the case.
If someone is bored and determined enough to hack into my system as it
now stands,
then PAM will certainly not stop them.
I would like to disable pam.console module and get back to "the good old
days"
of Linux innoncence and vulnerability.
How would I do that without making everyone mad at my "Enormous
Stupidity and na�vet�"
as it was once called during the heyday of free and open everything.
