Do you dispute this? Can you provide a concise explanation of why
PAM is not sufficient?
Concise: Because not all systems have PAM, and some of those lack
standard getpw* interface to get the encrypted password. Heck, in
some there IS no password.
Detailed: Kerberos and ssh-keys are two such examples. I am sure
there's at least one or two others, obscure though they may be.
Erm, this is confusing. Are you providing Kerberos as an example where
PAM is not sufficient? Because PAM works very well with Kerberos.
Did my explanation make sense, there? Or am I just doing the mailing-list
equivalent of spewing blue smoke indicative of an oil-leak somewhere in my
engine block?
