ben c'est Pat Volkerding qui trouve que PAM est plein de trous de sécurités, donc il ne veut pas l'inclure car selon lui, ses avantages n'en valent pas la chandelle.
Et il compte rester sur sa position un moment : "If you see a security problem reported which depends on PAM, you can be glad you run Slackware. I think a better name for PAM might be SCAM, for Swiss Cheese Authentication Modules, and have never felt that the small amount of convenience it provides is worth the great loss of system security. We miss out on half a dozen security problems a year by not using PAM, but you can always install it yourself if you feel that you're missing out on the fun. (No, don't do that.) OK, I'm done ranting here. :-)"
