Just wait until they do their COAS stuff (conceptually LinuxConf or
whatever that junk's called on steroids).  Then you'll get to learn a
third system.

Funny.  The no pam is one of the things I dislike about Caldera.  I'm
still amazed that they target the commercial server market and don't
ship a product with shadow passwords enabled by default (not that it's
difficult to pamify and shadow a caldera system, but I really expected
it to come with such stuff).  FWIW, rumor has it the next version is
PAM-enabled.  I haven't actually verified that with anyone at Caldera,
though, so you might still be safe ;-).

later,
