The current code is mess with many #ifdef and support for some unused (and badly tested) features (e.g. non-PAM support for /etc/securetty and /etc/usertty). What about to finally create nice and readable PAM-only login(1) for Linux? The alternatives for systems without PAM are busybox and shadow-utils. Comments?
