About PAM: Please don't get me wrong, i don't "rule out PAM": my software works fine with PAM - but it also works without it. I don't rule out a PAM module as part of the software itself either, it's probably the easiest way to have refcounting, so if i'm going to do refcounting, i will probably do it with the help of PAM, but it will be an optional feature. About a login management process: I will not run and manage and depend on a system service daemon process to store refcounts for users. There will be an API and helper executables for that, but they will not require such a process either. I could implement interoperation with existing login management services, notably [1], but again on an optional basis, because many people don't have [1], and the software has to work for them, too.
