Well, it shares PAM's mandatory dynamic linking evilness, but isn't tortured by a vague and incomplete spec (PAM is), doesn't mandate a terrible API (PAM does) and doesn't suffer from a plethora of mutually incompatible implementations (yep, PAM again). A NSS-like system without the shared linking requirement would be really nice, but there are subtleties. -d |
