Do you know what Mandrake 8.1 users like me should do? I don't know to what extent the Mandrake package diverges from the Red Hat package -- the safest thing is probably to download the source package, install it, compile it using "rpm -bc pam.spec", and use "install" to install the one module in /lib/security. If it doesn't work as expected, just re-install the Mandrake pam package, and it'll revert the module to the original version. I'd recommend just rebuilding the package and installing it, but I don't know if that would leave you without a module you're referencing in a configuration file somewhere. HTH, Nalin
