you need pam support built (e has to detect libpam) to use your system (users)
password. some os's don't like this unless e runs as root - so it won't work
(bsd). linux is happy and can authenticate (well most linux distribution users
seem happy) (i consider this more of a bsd problem in and of itself as this
basically means only root can authenticate your own password, and i'd have to
add an unnecessary suid root backdoor to e to do this). i disabled the personal
password stuff because its a security problem (that password is held in e's
config files - no safety or encryption).
