I moved an IMAP daemon (compiled from UW source) that was working in Jaguar to Panther, and it didn't work in Panther. A re-compile with PAM support fixed the problem.
This is speculation based upon what I saw from above, but my guess is:... In Jaguar, I believe that standard libc routines would look up login names/passwords without the code calling them knowing anything about PAM or netinfo. In Panther, these routines don't go to the netinfo database to look up the information, so you need PAM support in the application. It may be possible to add accounts to /etc/passwd to get around this problem, but I haven't tried that. I wouldn't know how to give them a usable encrypted password anyway.
