Comment State of PAM support (Score 2) 258
First off, slack has been my favorite distro for many years now; it's running a couple of our servers here (which is a medium sized .edu)
However, interoperability is now more important than it's ever been in the past, and PAM support in slackware is unfortunately lacking. We'll be rolling out linux to ~1500 public workstations RSN where we'll need either LDAP or NDS authentication. I'm not liking the prospect of having to roll out RedHat. (yuck) Of course I'll give recompiling binutils & company myself a shot (and make it into a package if I succeed) but I thought I'd just ask:
What's the state of future PAM support?
