I've gone for Suggests in the package I just uploaded. I'm open to persuasion on this one, but thought it was appropriate to put the Suggests in because the way I do upgrades tends not to involve me in reading all the descriptions on packages I've previously installed, so I for one would probably fail to notice the comment. Also, the PAP login support is actually broken without PAM (no password aging), and it does not seem like it's worth fixing when PAM is available. The only reason for spliting the package in the first place is for the base disks, otherwise people would not have the choice to leave PAM out (because I would have compiled it into the normal PPP package). I could be persuaded, since the non-PAM pppd is absolutely fine for dial-out, and if that's the reason someone wants it, why force them to install all the PAM drivel. Suggests seems to fit the bill quite well here. Tell me I'm wrong. Cheers, Phil. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
