I have used Gentoo at home for many years now. And I have never used pam. I even have # Don't want these, ever >sys-libs/pam-0 In /etc/portage/package.mask so that I detect if anything wants to pull in pam. A few times some ebuild tried to pull in pam dispite of USE=-pam, but that has allways been corrected by our devs. I don't actually dislike pam, it's quite good, and useful many times, it's just that I don't need it (yet). The most important point is choise. I can decide myself if I want it or not. And thats what Gentoo is all about (for me). -- Christer
