Well, I'm sure it won't. On low end embedded systems, you just don't need it. And when discussing base requirements, it should be made sure that even the low end is still supported. Also on normally sized systems, there just is no requirement for it - as long as the requirements are simple enough (eg. LDAP? Go PAM! Database? Go PAM!). But on consumer systems, and that's what we're talking about!, you won't need PAM. Not now, not in the future. Alexander Skwar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
