This is, I'm afraid, very system dependant. Sun has no /etc/pam.d, just an /etc/pam.conf and also requires (it seems) a full path to the module: login auth required /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so.1 the ISA variable is to handle 32 and 64 bit variants. Linux has both variants and other systems probably have their own quirks. It seems like asking for trouble to try and automate this. All systems have a default "other" PAM configuration which cvs would use if there was no specificcvs configuration.
Hrm. Okay. I'm not _too_ worried about incompatible systems at the moment, though we could deal with that using configure, at least in theory. I may write one that works on my RH Linux before I commit this. We can let users with other requirements submit patches, perhaps.
Here is the updated texinfo file.
That looked good. You missed a few of the texinfo features we use, but I'll add the ones I don't miss before I commit this. :)
Speaking of committing, if I read the discussion correctly and noone changed their mind without saying so, we're still at +1 developer votes:
Larry: +1 Mark: -1 Me: +1 _________ Total: +1Any further objections to this going into experimental before I test it here and commit it?
