I'm not sure if the PAM module works correctly. Last time I spoke with the
author (Craig Metz) at work, he said, if I remember correctly, that the PAM
module had some serious problems. He said it should be trivial to do right,
but he wasn't going to do it because he didn't like PAM from a security
point of view, and opie is meant for securer logins.
If people can verify that the module works, when I come back, I'll take up
all the opie stuff again.
