What is the status of PAM auth dev. Sombody had mentioned to me that it
was no longer being updated or upgraded.
It is still maintained, and it's status is unchanged.
Is that true ?
No.
But it has always been regarded as a "if nothing else works" solution. We
always recommend the native authenticators when there is one which works
for your environment, and we never recommend using the local system
password file unless you have other services depending on this and want to
share the password among the services.
