You do not need to install PAM http://slackworld.berlios.de/2007/vmware.html I'm not very happy with vmware's assumption that a system will use system v init and also have pam. Vmware can do better than that. And regarding pam, it appears to be something that if approached haphazardly could be a tad dangerous, security wise. -- Doug
