+Hey folks! PAM has finally landed in /testing. Some here wanted it to go
+right into the main tree immediately, and in a more normal development cycle
+I'd have been inclined to agree (it is -current, after all). But it's
+probably better for it to appear in /testing first, to make sure we didn't
+miss any bugs and also to serve as a warning shot that we'll be shaking up
+the tree pretty good over the next few weeks. I'd like to see this merged
+into the main tree in a day or two, so any testing is greatly appreciated.
+Switching to the PAM packages (or reverting from them) is as easy as
+installing all of them with upgradepkg --install-new, and if reverting then
+remove the three leftover _pam packages. After reverting, a bit of residue
+will remain in /etc/pam.d/ and /etc/security/ which can either be manually
+deleted or simply ignored. While there are many more features available in
+PAM compared with plain shadow, out of the box about the only noticable
+change is the use of cracklib and libpwquality to check the quality of a
+user-supplied password. Hopefully having PAM and krb5 will get us on track
+to having proper Active Directory integration as well as using code paths
+that are likely better audited these days. The attack surface *might* be
+bigger, but it's also a lot better scrutinized.
+Thanks to Robby Workman and Vincent Batts who did most of the initial heavy
+lifting on the core PAM packages as a side project for many years. Thanks
+also to Phantom X whose PAM related SlackBuilds were a valuable reference.
+And thanks as well to ivandi - I learned a lot from the SlackMATE build
+scripts and was even occasionally thankful for the amusing ways you would
+kick my ass on LQ. ;-) You're more than welcome to let us know where we've
+messed up this time.
+The binutils and glibc packages in /testing were removed and are off the
+table for now. I'm not seeing much upside to heading down that rabbit hole
+at the moment. Next we need to be looking at Xfce 4.14 and Plasma 5.18 LTS
+and some other things that have been held back since KDE4 couldn't use them.
+Cheers! :-)
