Helen - You can have a look at the Thinkwiki site and follow the
instructions there on how to compile from source, if you have already
done so then cool. There is also a section on adding PAM into the mix.

"The one ray of hope is that maybe, just maybe, the thousands of
Windows worms will go to war with each other and kill every Windows
machine on earth. Though that would be a short-lived cure, because
even after a Windows holocaust the first thing the survivors are going
to do is get up, dust themselves off, and see if rebooting will bring
their systems back up." --Carla Schroder
