/etc/security/limits.conf: ulimit -l (max locked memory) reports 32 when it should be unlimited

netatalk: uams_dhx_pam.so missing?

2006-07-16 Thread Peter Teunissen
Hi All, I'm probably overlooking the obvious, but why is the authentication method uams_dhx_pam.so missing from /usr/lib/netatalk? Has this something to do with the gpl incompatability with openssl or should the file simply be copied from another (undocumented) location? I'd really hate
