Heyho Andrew, If the PAM patch is not part of your distributions 1.4 release and your authentication system needs PAM (which I assume), you can try the latest PAM patch from the wiki: http://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/pam_auth . If this solves your problem, you can follow up with your maintainer and ask him to integrate this patch to the ports tree as it was done for 1.3. --Markus
