A part of the patch does the same thing I proposed in ports/98946:
adding a PAM option to allow enabling PAM support.

I don't have actually any working FreeBSD + X server + "PAM users" so
I can't test it, but it was already working when I submitted
ports/98946.

I can't talk for other parts of the patch, as I never used kerberos
support in such context, and as I didn't have a closer look to misc
patches.



Yvan.
