What's the best place to link to the Linux PAM docs now that the
kernel.org copy is gone?

Thanks

Subject: [DOCS] Link to PAM pages broken

Hi all,

I notice that the links to both the Linux PAM page and Solaris PAM
page are broken in our documentation.  The bottom of the
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/auth-methods.html page
points to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ and
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/pam/.  The former is broken, the
latter redirects to some generic Oracle page.

I can't find a suitable candidates for substitution.  I found
http://linux.die.net/man/8/pam.d and
http://dsc.sun.com/solaris/articles/user_auth_solaris3.html but
nothing to directly replace them.  Any ideas?

Its been quite some years since I last followed the pam stuff. Since
the kernel.org breakin, pretty much everything there has been undone.
I can ask around about what might be salvagable, but Thorsten really
is the one to know where the latest copy of everything is.

Cheers

Andrew
