Using PAM with such networked services is not generally desirable. You at least need to make sure that the connexion is secured with TLS or something to avoid your credentials going in the clear, and it's a risk to assume that always happens. There are kerberized versions of SSH (e.g. in Debian), which might help somewhat, depending on the circumstances. If you are looking at kerberizing VNC (which sounds useful) I assume you've spotted the Kerberos stuff in the X distribution, though that might not be the best place to start. How about using SASL for generality? _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
