## 9. Notes

I intend to put development comments here... like ``at the moment this isn't actually supported''. At release time what ever is in this section will be placed in the Bugs section below! :)

Are we going to be able to support the `use_mapped_pass` module argument? Anyone know a cheap (free) good lawyer?!

- This issue may go away, as Sun have investigated adding a new management group for mappings. In this way, libpam would have mapping modules that could securely store passwords using strong cryptography and in such a way that they need not be distributed with Linux-PAM.
