I'm not sure about you, but I can think of MANY times over my career when I set up a box to do just one thing or for just one person and down the road all of a sudden, I needed another thing or another person. Fine. That's a different scenario. Please stick to the scenario I mentioned. Retrofitting pam onto a running, configured system is not something I'd care to attempt. Having pam on from the beginning, if you don't fiddle with the defaults, poses no extra complexity. And what do you gain by using PAM? Again: Stick to the scenario I mentioned. I think, that it is not an unusual scenario - I tend to think, that it'll fit most home users and also most desktop machines in a *SMALL* office enviroment.

What? What kind of theory is that?
Sorry, I didn't explain myself clearly. I didn't mean to say that use
gnu/linux/oss for the
purpose of learning. However you can't argue that one gets to learn a lot
from simply using it.
So, to clarify:
Learning is the answer to the question,
No it's not. The answer to the question: Why DON'T refrain from
using unneeded software and systems? is NOT: Learning.
The answer is: Do refrain fromusing systems that you don't need.
And for the majority of systems, this would include PAM. Eg.
if it's sufficient to use /etc/{passwd,shadow} as a password/user
database, then there's just no reason to use another (in this
case clearly: useless) layer on top of that. It just adds
unneeded and unwanted complexity for no gain.
So: Why use PAM on systems that fit to the scenario I laid
out?

Re: [gentoo-user] Dinosaur Matrox Mystique: corruption
I think Hans's idea makes sense, since it was the file storm.c that was patched in the first place by others. I'll have to wait, because I've started a new gentoo install due to problems detecting the /boot partition in my machine. I botched an attempt to move data from that partition to the / partition. I have been able to do 1064x768 at 16 or 24 bits. Even 1100something x something worked, perhaps not as perfectly. Thank you for so many great answers, in great depth. I will see what comes about in a day or two. It's tricky to do this on a dialup.

[gentoo-user] DNS lookup fails on a server; no changes since it worked
I have a server out on the net, and it's been up for a week or two. I've been on and off it all week long, but as of last night, DNS didn't seem to work for it. Network connectivity worked, because not only could I ssh *in*, but I could also contact the outside network as long as I used something in the hosts file or an IP address. Adding more (known good) DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf doesn't seem to help. DNS was working recently, and I haven't changed anything since then. A reboot didn't help (I would have just stopped started networking... but, well, all I have is ssh, so...). One very weird thing is that it can apparently send mail to outside network addresses. It could send to my gmail account fine last night, though it seemed to take a while (20 minutes or so, when normally it's instantaneous). I don't have gmail or google in my /etc/hosts. I've seen elsewhere to look at the output of iptables, but it has never been installed. The contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf are at http://vlack.com/vlack/lol/ nsswitch.conf. I'm getting nowhere, and I have no idea why. Thanks. - Micah -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
