Hi Craig,

	PAM is great. But I prefer to run multiple independent
layers of security, and Brent's first rule always applies - if it
ain't broke don't try fixing it...

	I don't consider myself to be a security expert. Truth be
told, the more I learn the less I realize I know. But what has so
far worked well for me is not putting all my eggs in one basket.
This is just my opinion though, and we all know what they say about
opinions....
