FYI you dont just "add PAM" to the distro... you recompile shadow/glibc et al with PAM support and do a shit load of reconfiguration. Guess why 3rd pary GNOME on Slackware is still a hit-and-miss afair?

And this kind of thing happens roughtly a million times a day all over the world.
The big question is: Was anyone supprised by this sensational piece of news?

I'm a beliver of something non-scientific myself, but i never ever forget that it is something that i *believe* in.
It's not a law, or even a propable theory or model, just because i happen to belive in it. I've always found the "this-proves-religion-X" style argument totally foolish and a complete waste of time.

The sad thing is that i often find myself quite alone with this oppinion when among other belivers of this-or-that.
