... As far as Slackware 15.0 goes, I've been testing PAM and Kerberos here and have given quite some thought to trying to get them merged (or at least in /testing) so that we can have proper support for Active Directory and NFS. ...
Hi Pat,
Have you got anywhere with the above? If you are still considering to add the above to testing i would be more than happy to take it for a spin and provide feedback.
Currently i use ivandi's SlackADS (with updated versions) on current and that works fine.
Assuming you do add pam/kereberos I hope there is also room for users to opt out.
Sure.
Like today you can do as ivandi and recompile several stock packages to include PAM support, you would be able to recompile them to exclude PAM...
Open source is freedom.
Now that you made that point I suspect what ivandi was doing is going to be a lot easier than doing the reverse given how kereberos likely will hook itself into many packages.
