Why? PAM's *JOB* is to handle varied authentication back-ends appropriately, without specific code for each one. That's the whole reason it exists. You're suggesting that users ignore PAM, and stick with the "bad old days" when interfaces weren't shared. "passwd" remains the correct answer. Users should never have to care where their passwords are stored in order to set them correctly. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
