TODO:			Comments
----			--------

 [applications]

graphics-apps		What about some X/svgalib applications? Xlock etc..

 [modules]

pam_rXXX		The remainder of the rsh utilities..

pam_card??		In the long term it would be good to have another
			(physical) means of authentication...
			Smartcards etc., would be the eventual aim, but
			perhaps a start in this direction would be to
			authenticate with a personal specially
			formatted floppy!? (got to make some use of
			all those strange Linux incompatible floppies
			I keep getting from ISPs ;)

pam_???			If you are interested in another type of
			authentication method--just make a module!
			If you want it registered/some help, email the
			list.

 [misc]

SVGA & X-conv		Currently, libpam-misc contains a text-only
			conversation function. A graphical one,
			for X or SVGA would be very welcome,
			applications like xlock etc.. would benefit
			from this.


Issues that need to be resolved:
--------------------------------

- authentication module stacking, need some conventions
	- this will probably get resolved when there are enough
	  apps about for people to find problems

- can we support the use_mapped_pass flag without running into problems
  with ITAR rules?
	- anyone know where someone to email for FREE legal advice/support?
