Pam is in the heart of in OS and getting aligned wiht those people is often very difficult.</P><P>What is happening is that all kind of processes are forked and switched in user-context (sasauth) by SAS.</P><P>This is normally the SSH (and sudo) reserved area and you are getting in troubles waters with security and OS people.
