Description:   Opened: 2004-09-22 18:59 0000 
The dependency of mc-4.6.0-r11.ebuild on pam should be optional, i.e. in the
ebuild change line

>=sys-libs/pam-0.72

(in DEPEND) by 

pam? (>=sys-libs/pam-0.72)

(like in mc-4.5.55-r7.ebuild)

I'm running a system without pam. I don't like pam, since it was causing
a lot of trouble to me with the permissions of the audio devices
When a user logs in ( the permissions of that devices
change without any reason, and the other user can't use them.
I remove pam from my system (USE="-pam") and all this mess disapears.

The Midnight commander does not really depend on pam, as I was able
to compile it without it!







Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
