Steve As a practical matter the security issues you raise aren't of any interest at all - they are completely irrelevant. The WHOLE POINT of all this is that is intended for a LOCAL LAN, with controlled access, and no login access from outside. If that wasn't the situation, it would probably be inadvisable to use this module. Was that really not clear from my message ? Incidentally, why do you post your messages as attachments ? My impression is that plain text is the universal standard of lists and newsgroups. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Langasek <vorlon@netexpress.net> To: <pam-list@redhat.com> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 11:30 PM Subject: Re: Nightmare : pam_autologin
