Problems using other PAM modules. I've tried a few (such as pam_ldap) a
number of times and had very little success. I'm quite sure everything
was set up correctly. I've even made modifications to the source of a
few modules to give extra debugging info, but to no avail. It's not a
huge problem (well, I found  a a workaround). I haven't seen a great
deal of mention of PAM on FreeBSD around the place either (there doesn't
seem to be much in the way of active development from what I have seen).
I could be (and would like to be :-)) wrong.

Thx,
Matt
