Hello,
there are linux distributions, which don't use PAM for authentication. For
example this is the case for Slackware.
How can I just *disable* to build whatever feature, which requires this "PAM"?
First compile error occurs here:
http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/HostServices/auth/pam/VBoxAuthPAM.c
Can I just disable this and force VirtualBox to use this one:
http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/HostServices/auth/simple/VBoxAuthSimple.cpp
Will this work and will this disable the dependency to PAM? Is it worth to file
a bug for this? IMHO it would be nice to have a "--disable-pam" for configure...
Thank you very much in advance
Yours
