I've found on Caldera Open Linux 1.1 (Base and Standard) that
compiling without the -DUSE_PAM stuff works just fine.  I don't know
about other implementations, but on Caldera the shared libraries seem
to automatically do the Right Thing if you're not getting down and
dirty with the /etc/password or /etc/shadow files manually.

The only program I've had to recompile with PAM is xlock.  Other
things like ssh, imapd, qpopper, etc. just seem to work.

A child can go only so far in life without potty training.  It is not
mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty
trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators.
