As virtual/pam is now in portage (provided by pam 0.78 and by freebsd pam implementation), I'm trying to get rid of pam_stack in packages using instead the "include notation", as I've done for sudo.

Practically speaking, currently pop3 from mailbase states:

auth       required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth

this would require pam_stack which is strictly bound to linux-pam (our sys-libs/pam) and not portable.
Linux-pam 0.78 and openpam (fbsd implementation) to achieve the same thing does something slighly different:

auth       include      system-auth

this only affects pam_stack lines, everything else is fine as it's now.

To have an out-of-the-box working mailbase on fbsd it's needed that mailbase starts depending on virtual/pam instead of sys-libs/pam (which will move the requirement toward 0.78 version on normal linux systems) and then changes the pamd files to use that notation.

Thanks in advance,
Diego

I'll take care of this hopefully today.

Ok, net-mail/mailbase-1 uses the include notation for pam files, and it depends on virtual/pam, as requested.
