perhaps just my inexperience with PAM but i'm reading an online PAM tutorial here: http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/AUnix2/PAM-Help.htm and it mentions the use of the pam_stack.so module to support recursive(?) processing. on my centos 5.5 system, "man pam_stack" appears to describe it much the same way. but how does this differ from simply "include"ing another PAM config file? on this centos system, the entirety of the use of that module is: $ grep pam_stack * pm-hibernate:#auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth pm-powersave:#auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth pm-suspend:#auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth pm-suspend-hybrid:#auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth $ and, as you can see, all of those uses are commented out. so is pam_stack.so even used anymore? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
