IIRC, I believe that you have to explicitly enable PAM support if you want to use it. Red Hat uses PAM extensively for authentication, so it makes sense to use it with SSH as well. Not strictly required by any means, but if you ever switch to a different kind of password authentication scheme (like say, SHA hashes, as an unlikely example), SSH (probably) won't work with it unless you use PAM (or the latest version of openssh includes explicit support). - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
