9. Notes

I intend to put development comments here... like ``at the moment this isn't actually supported''. At release time what ever is in this section will be placed in the Bugs section below! :)

• Perhaps we should keep a registry of data-names as used by pam_[gs]et_data() so there are no unintentional problems due to conflicts?
• pam_strerror() should be internationalized....
• There has been some debate about whether initgroups() should be in an application or in a module. It was settled by Sun who stated that initgroups is an action of the application. The modules are permitted to add additional groups, however.
• Refinements/futher suggestions to syslog(3) usage by modules are needed.
