security/pam_ssh_agent_auth: Deprecate
This PAM module is abandonware: no code updates for 8+ years, no new
releases for 6+ years.
See security/pam_rssh or security/pam_ssh_agent for alternatives with
very similar functionality.

-# Note: if you need support for hardware token backed ecdsa-sk or
-# ed25519-sk SSH keys, see devel/pam_rssh
+# Note: This port is abandonware: there have been no updates to the
+# code in the main GitHub repository for 8+ years, and compilation
+# against a modern OpenSSL implementation depends on patches from a
+# 3rd party that have not been added to a release version in 6+ years.
+# Users are advised to consider the alternatives of security/pam_rssh
+# or security/pam_ssh_agent which provide almost identical
+# functionality, but are actively maintained.
+
+DEPRECATED= Abandonware. Consider security/pam_rssh or securit/pam_ssh_agent instead.
