Ok, I did a preliminary glance at it.

I believe that the following two things will have to be done:

- create pam-auth.c which contains all of the PAM code;

- PAM'ified version of check_system_password() must be called something
like check_pam_password() (and moved to pam-auth.c too).  Only the
invocation of those functions must be #ifdef'ed, not their definitions.
Two different functions with a same name is evil.

At least, current policy of code reorganization dictates this.  Derek will
confirm this (or not :)

Also, I'd suggest dropping ugly --with-hardcoded-pam-service-name (I had to
use copy-and-paste, that's insane!).  Hardcode "cvs".  Implement long
option --pam-service=SERVICE to 'cvs pserver' subcommand, which will
override this.  YMMV.


Anyway, do not bother if you wish.  I'll just clean it all up sooner or
later. :)

In that case, Alexey, I'll try and commit Brian's PAM patch soon and let you clean it up from there, unless you have objections?

By the way, what does "YMMV" stand for?

Derek
