Hi,
I'm adding rhel-devel also to the mailing recipients to get RHEL developers feedback.
I'd also like to hear if there's any opinion on replacing pam_unix from Fedora and RHEL.

Hello,
I'm currently doing some experiments with replacing the - upstream
mostly unmaintained - pam_unix module (authentication with user passwd)
with something using less bloated and cleaner code. This topic is
currently also discussed with the upstream maintainer of pam_unix.
Replacing parts of a software for the sake of less complexity usually
comes with a cut-down of features; in this particular case it would be
dropping support for NIS(+), which has already been abandoned by its
initial developer SUN / Oracle for about 10 years [1].
Before starting some more concrete plans, I'd like to get some feedback
from the Fedora community how they feel about removing NIS(+) support in
PAM. Is it even still actively used anywhere and/or by anyone in the
Fedora universe?
Thanks,
Björn
