I've moved PAM modules from Linux to HP-UX.  There was one
compatibility note raised elsewhere in this thread, but I was unaware
of it until now.  The only problems I had were the usual deal of
fixing non-portable C code.

I believe adding PAM to NetBSD is justified on the grounds of
compatibility and interoperabilty with other *nix systems.  One
doesn't have to love the PAM API to decide that compatibility is
useful.
