Hmmm....
I am very willing to work on getting preliminary PAM stuff done, and
I would at least like to do this for our site. Is it possible to get
info on what the hooks are, and what symbols need to be defined by
the libraries, etc? Or does one need a site source license from Sun...
(I hope not!) If someone has some stuff already implemented that would
work as well, I'd be happy to test it out, debug, add functionality,
whatever. This is a very hot issue at our site.
